Hosea 8:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.

⁸ Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.

⁹ For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.
