Hosea 8:9-11
New International Reader's Version
9 They have gone up to Assyria for help.
They are like a wild donkey
that wanders around by itself.
Ephraim’s people have sold themselves
to their Assyrian lovers.
10 They have sold themselves to the nations
to get their help.
But now I will gather them together.
They will get weaker and weaker.
The mighty kings of Assyria will crush them.
11 “Ephraim built many altars where they sacrificed
sin offerings to other gods.
So their altars have become
places where they commit sin.
