Hosea 7:8-1964 ·Bible in Basic English

“Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it. And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him. And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria. When they go, my net will be stretched out over them; I will take them like the birds of heaven, I will give them punishment, I will take them away in the net for their sin. May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me. And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me. Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me. They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them.”
