Hosea 8:7-9
New Century Version
7 “Israel’s foolish plans are like planting the wind,
but they will harvest a storm.
Like a stalk with no head of grain,
it produces nothing.
Even if it produced something,
other nations would eat it.
8 Israel is eaten up;
the people are mixed among the other nations
and have become useless to me.
9 Israel is like a wild donkey all by itself.
They have run to Assyria;
They have hired other nations to protect them.
Hosea 8:7-9
New International Version
7 “They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.(A)
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.(B)
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.(C)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(D)
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.(E)
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(F)
like a wild donkey(G) wandering alone.
Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.(H)
