Hosea 7:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Futile Reliance on the Nations
11 Ephraim has become like a dove,
silly and without sense;
they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.(A)
12 As they go, I will cast my net over them;
I will bring them down like birds of the air;
I will discipline them according to the report made to their assembly.[a](B)
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me!
I would redeem them,
but they speak lies against me.(C)

easily deceived and senseless—
now calling to Egypt,(B)

When I hear them flocking together,
I will catch them.

because they have strayed(F) from me!

because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
