Hosea 8:7-9

7“For they sow wind, and reap a whirlwind. There is no mature grain— the sprout yields no meal. Should it produce anything, strangers would swallow it up.

8Israel has been swallowed up! Now they are among the nations, like an ornament with no delight in it.

9For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey alone by itself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
