Hosea 7:11-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove; they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.

12. As they are going, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the sky.I will discipline them in accordancewith the news that reaches their assembly.

13. Woe to them, for they fled from Me; destruction to them, for they rebelled against Me!Though I want to redeem them, they speak lies against Me.

14. They do not cry to Me from their hearts;rather, they wail on their beds.They slash themselves for grain and new wine; they turn away from Me.

15. I trained and strengthened their arms, but they plot evil against Me.
