Hosea 8:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Israel is swallowed up.
    Now they are among the nations
    as a vessel in which there is no pleasure.
⁹ For they have gone up to Assyria
    like a wild donkey alone by itself;
    Ephraim has hired lovers.
¹⁰ Though they hire among the nations,
    I will now gather them.
They will begin to diminish due to the burden
    of the king of princes.
