Hosea 8:6-10

For from Israel comes even this! A craftsman made it, so it is not God; Assuredly, the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.

For they sow wind And they harvest a storm. The standing grain has no kernels; It yields no grain. If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it.

Israel has been swallowed up; They are now among the nations Like a vessel in which no one delights.

For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a wild donkey all alone; Ephraim has paid fees for lovers.

Even though they pay for allies among the nations, I will gather them up now; And they will begin to diminish Because of the burden of the king of officials.
