Hosea 7:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ They are so angry that they kill their rulers.
Now all their kings are dead.
None of them calls out to me for help.’

⁸ ‘Ephraim's people have mixed themselves with people of other nations.^[a]
So they have become useless, like bread that is not properly cooked.^[b]
9 Foreign people have taken away Israel's strength.
But the Israelites do not realize what is happening!
They have become like an old man with grey hair.
But they do not realize how weak they are.
