Hosea 7:8-16 - Israel And The Nations
8
Ephraim is unturned bread baked on a griddle.
but he does not notice.
Even his hair is streaked with gray,
but he does not notice.
yet they do not return to Yahweh their God,
and for all this, they do not seek Him.
11
they call to Egypt,
I will bring them down like birds of the sky.
I will discipline them in accordance
with the news that reaches
13
destruction to them, for they rebelled against Me!
Though I want to redeem them,
they speak lies against Me.
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves
they turn away from Me.
but they plot evil against Me.
they are like a faulty bow.
Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of the cursing of their tongue.
They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.
