Hosea 11:6

God Will Have Compassion

⁵ Israel will not return to the land of Egypt
and Assyria will be his king,
because they refused to repent.
⁶ A sword will whirl through his cities;
it will destroy and devour the bars of his gates,
because of their schemes.
⁷ My people are bent on turning from Me.
Though they call to Him on high,
He will not exalt them at all.
