Hosea 8:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ Israel is eaten up;
    the people are mixed among the other nations
    and have become useless to me.
⁹ Israel is like a wild donkey all by itself.
    They have run to Assyria;
    They have hired other nations to protect them.
¹⁰ Although Israel is mixed among the nations,
    I will gather them together.
They will become weaker and weaker
    as they suffer under the great king of Assyria.
