Hosea 11:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ They will not^[a] return into the land of Egypt.
    Instead, an Assyrian will be their king,
    because they refused to repent.
⁶ The sword will slash against their cities.
    It will destroy the bars of their gates,
    and it will devour them because of their plans.

⁷ My people are determined to turn away from me.
    Though they call him the Most High, he certainly will not exalt them.
