Hosea 7:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ The people of Israel^[a]
    have mixed with foreigners;
they are a thin piece of bread
    scorched on one side.
⁹ They don't seem to realize
    how weak and feeble they are;
their hair has turned gray,
    while foreigners rule.
¹⁰ I am the Lord, their God,
    but in all of their troubles
their pride keeps them
    from returning to me.
