Hosea 7:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ Israel’s pride will cause their defeat;
    they will not turn back to the Lord their God
    or look to him for help in all this.
¹¹ Israel has become like a pigeon—
    easy to fool and stupid.
First they call to Egypt for help.
    Then they run to Assyria.
¹² When they go, I will catch them in a net,
    I will bring them down like birds from the sky;
    I will punish them countless times for their evil.
