Hosea 7:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷     All of them are hot as an oven;
            they devour their rulers.
    All their kings have fallen;
            none of them call upon me.
⁸     Ephraim mixes himself among the people;
            Ephraim is like flatbread that is cooked on only one side.
⁹     Strangers have eaten up his strength,
            yet he doesn’t know it;
        gray hairs are sprinkled here and there upon him,
            yet he doesn’t know it.
