Hosea 7:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Israel’s pride will cause their defeat.
    They have had many troubles.
But they still do not turn to the Lord their God.
    They do not look to him for help.
¹¹ Israel has become like a silly pigeon.
    The people have no understanding.
First they call to Egypt for help.
    Then they run for help to Assyria.
¹² When they go, I will catch them
    as men catch birds in a net.
Then I will punish them
    as I have warned them.
