Hosea 8:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 If you scatter wind
instead of wheat,
you will harvest a whirlwind
and have no wheat.
Even if you harvest grain,
enemies will steal it all.
8 Israel, you are ruined,
and now the nations
consider you worthless.
9 You are like a wild donkey
that goes its own way.
You've run off to Assyria
and hired them as allies.
Hosea 8:7-9
New International Version
7 “They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.(A)
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.(B)
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.(C)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(D)
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.(E)
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(F)
like a wild donkey(G) wandering alone.
Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.(H)
