Hosea 7:11-16

Judgment for Foreign Alliances

Hosea 7:11-16
11
Efrayim behaves like a silly, foolish dove - going to Egypt, then to Ashur for help.
12
Even as they go, I will spread my net over them; I will bring them down like birds from the sky; I will discipline them, as their assembly was told.
13
Woe to them! for they have strayed from me. Destruction to them! for they have wronged me. Am I supposed to redeem them, when they have spoken lies against me?
14
They have not cried out to me from their hearts, even though they wail on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and wine, yet turn away from me.
15
It was I who trained and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
16
They return, but not upward; they are like an unreliable bow. Their leaders will die by the sword because of their angry talk. They will become a laughingstock in the land of Egypt.
