Hosea 8:8-10
The Voice
8 Israel has been devoured by that eagle and strewn among the nations.
Now it’s like a discarded pot, valuable to no one.
9 All alone like a wild donkey, Ephraim went up to Assyria
and had to hire her own lovers!
10 But because they paid tribute money to other nations instead of depending on Me,
I’m going to gather them up and send them into exile,
And they will struggle for a time
beneath the burden imposed by the great king of princes.[a]

I will now gather them together.(F)

under the oppression of the mighty king.
