Hosea 8:9-10
English Standard Version
9 For (A)they have gone up to Assyria,
(B)a wild donkey wandering alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations,
I will soon gather them up.
And (C)the king and princes (D)shall soon writhe
because of the tribute.
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.
