Hosea 7:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ ·Foreign nations [Strangers; Foreigners] have ·eaten up [devoured; sapped] his strength,
    but he doesn’t know it.
·Israel is weak and feeble, like an old man [^LGrey hair is scattered on him],
    but he doesn’t know it.
¹⁰ Israel’s ·pride [arrogance] ·will cause their defeat [or testifies against him; ^Lanswers in his face];
    they will not ·turn back [return] to the Lord their God
    or ·look to him for help [^Lseek him] in all this.
¹¹ Israel has become like a ·pigeon [dove]—
    ·easy to fool [silly] and ·stupid [senseless].
First they call to Egypt for help.
    Then they ·run [turn; go] to Assyria.
