Hosea 7:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰    Israel’s stubborn pride will testify against him.
        The people haven’t come back to Me, their True God;
        they haven’t asked Me for help despite all their troubles.

¹¹    Ephraim is like a dove caught in foreign intrigues, silly and without sense:
        they call to Egypt; they go to Assyria.
¹²    But as they fly to others for help, I’ll throw My net over them.
        I’ll bring them down like birds out of the sky and punish them,
        as their congregation knows full well.
