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
New Living Translation
9 Like a wild donkey looking for a mate,
they have gone up to Assyria.
The people of Israel[a] have sold themselves—
sold themselves to many lovers.
10 But though they have sold themselves to many allies,
I will now gather them together for judgment.
Then they will writhe
under the burden of the great king.
