Context of Hosea 7:10

8“Ephraim mixes with other nations. Ephraim, you are like a half-baked loaf of bread. 9Foreigners are using up your strength, but you don’t realize it. You have become a gray-haired, old man, but you don’t realize it. Israel, your arrogance testifies against you, but even after all this, you don’t turn to the Lord your God or look to him for help. 11Ephraim, you are like a silly, senseless dove. You call for Egypt and run to Assyria for help. 12When you go, I will spread my net over you. I will snatch you out of the air like a bird. I will punish you for all the evil things you have done.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face - His pride convicted him.

People complain of their “fortune” or “fate” or “stars,” and go on the more obstinately, to build up what God destroys, to prop up by human means…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-16Verses 8-16 Israel was as a cake not turned, half burnt and half dough, none of it fit for use; a mixture of idolatry and of the worship of Jehovah.
