Hosea 7:9-11

New Living Translation

⁹ Worshiping foreign gods has sapped their strength,
    but they don’t even know it.
Their hair is gray,
    but they don’t realize they’re old and weak.
¹⁰ Their arrogance testifies against them,
    yet they don’t return to the Lord their God
    or even try to find him.

¹¹ “The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves,
    first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria for help.
