Hosea 7:9-16

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Hosea 7:9-16

9Foreigners consume his strength,
but he does not notice.
Even his hair is streaked with gray,
but he does not know.
10Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,
yet they do not return to the LORD their God;
despite all this, they do not seek Him.
11So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove —
calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
12As they go, I will spread My net over them;
I will bring them down like birds of the air.
I will chastise them
when I hear them flocking together.
13Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me!
Though I would redeem them,
they speak lies against Me.
14They do not cry out to Me from their hearts
when they wail upon their beds.
They slash themselves for grain and new wine,
but turn away from Me.
15Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
they plot evil against Me.
16They turn, but not to the Most High;
they are like a faulty bow.
Their leaders will fall by the sword
for the cursing of their tongue;
for this they will be ridiculed
in the land of Egypt.
