Hosea 8:9-10
Christian Standard Bible
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(A)
like a wild donkey going off on its own.
Ephraim has paid for love.(B)
10 Even though they hire lovers among the nations,
I will now round them up,
and they will begin to decrease in number(C)
under the burden of the king and leaders.(D)
Hosea 8:9-10

9 For they have gone up to (A)Assyria,
Like (B)a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has (C)paid fees for [a]lovers.
10 Even though they [b]pay for allies among the nations,
I will (D)gather them up now;
And they will begin (E)to diminish
Because of the burden of the (F)king of officials.
