Hosea 7:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ “Israel mixes with other nations.
    Israel is useless like a pancake cooked only on one side.
⁹ Foreign nations are using up Israel’s strength.
    And Israel doesn’t even know it.
Israel is weak and feeble, like an old man.
    And they don’t even know it.
¹⁰ Israel’s pride will cause their defeat.
    They have had many troubles.
But they still do not turn to the Lord their God.
    They do not look to him for help.
