Hosea 7:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰Israel’s arrogance testifies against him;^[a]
but they do not return to the Lord their God,
nor seek him in all of this.

¹¹“Ephraim is also like a silly dove,
    lacking sense:^[b]
They call out to Egypt,
    and turn toward Assyria.
¹²When they go,
    I’ll cast my net over them.
I’ll bring them down, as one shoots^[c] birds in the sky.
    I’ll chasten them,
        as the assembly has already heard.
