Hosea 8:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷For ^(A)they sow the wind,
And they reap the ^(B)whirlwind.
The standing grain has no growth;
It makes ^(C)no flour.
Should it make anything, strangers would swallow it up.

⁸Israel is ^(D)swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a ^(E)vessel in which no one delights.
⁹For they have gone up to ^(F)Assyria
Like ^(G)a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has ^(H)hired ^[a]lovers.
