Hosea 7:9-11 New English Translation (NET)

9. Foreigners are consuming what his strenuous labor produced,but he does not recognize it!His head is filled with gray hair,but he does not realize it!

10. The arrogance of Israel testifies against him,yet they refuse to return to the Lord their God!In spite of all this they refuse to seek him!

11. Ephraim has been like a dove, easily deceived and lacking discernment.They called to Egypt for help;they turned to Assyria for protection.
