Hosea 7:9

7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.

8 Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.

Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.

10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.

11 So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
