Hosea 8:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Israel, you are ruined,
and now the nations
    consider you worthless.
⁹ You are like a wild donkey
    that goes its own way.
You've run off to Assyria
    and hired them as allies.
¹⁰ You can bargain with nations,
    but I'll catch you anyway.
Soon you will suffer abuse
    by kings and rulers.
