Hosea 7:12

Ephraim's Guilt

¹¹
Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without heart or good sense;
They call to Egypt [for help], they go to Assyria.
¹² 
When they go, I will spread My net over them;
I will bring them down like birds of the heavens [into Assyrian captivity].
I will chastise them in accordance with the proclamation (prophecy) to their congregation.
¹³
Woe (judgment is coming) to them, for they have wandered away from Me!
Devastation is theirs, because they have rebelled and trespassed against Me!
I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.
