Hosea 8:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ Because they sow the wind,
    they will reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain does not have heads;^[a]
    it will not yield flour.
And if it would yield,
    strangers would devour it.
⁸ Israel is swallowed up;
    now they are among the nations,
        like an object that no one desires.
⁹ For they have gone up to Assyria,
    a wild donkey alone to itself;
        Ephraim has sold itself for lovers.
