Hosea 7:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ “My people mingle with the heathen, picking up their evil ways; thus they become as good-for-nothing as a half-baked cake!

⁹ “Worshiping foreign gods has sapped their strength, but they don’t know it. Ephraim’s hair is turning gray, and he doesn’t even realize how weak and old he is. ¹⁰ His pride in other gods has openly condemned him; yet he doesn’t return to his God, nor even try to find him.
