Hosea 8:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
Hosea 8:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 The Israelites did a foolish thing—it was like trying to plant the wind. But they will get only troubles—they will harvest a whirlwind. The grain in the fields will grow, but it will give no food. Even if it grew something, strangers would eat it.
8 “Israel was destroyed;
its people are scattered among the nations,
like some dish that was thrown away because no one wanted it.
9 Ephraim went to his ‘lovers.’[a]
Like a stubborn donkey, they led him off to Assyria.
