Hosea 7:10

PrideRepentance

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

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

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.

12 As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
