Hosea 8:5-10

5Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be incapable of purity?

6For from Israel is this also: — a workman made it, and it is no 1God: for the calf of Samaria shall be [broken in] pieces.

7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; should it sprout, it would yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

8Israel is swallowed up: now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

9For they are gone up [to] Assyria [as] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

10Although they hire among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall begin to be straitened under the burden of the king of princes.
