Hosea 8:8-10

English Standard Version Anglicised

^8 (A)Israel is swallowed up;
    already they are among the nations
    as ^(B)a useless vessel.
⁹ For ^(C)they have gone up to Assyria,
    ^(D)a wild donkey wandering alone;
    Ephraim has hired lovers.
¹⁰ Though they hire allies among the nations,
    I will soon gather them up.
And ^(E)the king and princes ^(F)shall soon writhe
    because of the tribute.
