Living Bible

7 “They have sown the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. Their cornstalks stand there barren, withered, sickly, with no grain; if it has any, foreigners will eat it.

8 “Israel is destroyed; she lies among the nations as a broken pot.

Hosea 8:6-8
New International Version

6     They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
    it is not God.(A)
It will be broken in pieces,
    that calf(B) of Samaria.(C)

7 “They sow the wind
    and reap the whirlwind.(D)
The stalk has no head;
    it will produce no flour.(E)
Were it to yield grain,
    foreigners would swallow it up.(F)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(G)
    now she is among the nations
    like something no one wants.(H)
