Hosea 8:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)Israel is swallowed up;
already they are among the nations
as (B)a useless vessel.
9 For (C)they have gone up to Assyria,
(D)a wild donkey wandering alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Though they hire allies among the nations,
I will soon gather them up.
And (E)the king and princes (F)shall soon writhe
because of the tribute.
11 Because Ephraim (G)has multiplied altars for sinning,
they have become to him altars for sinning.

8 Israel is swallowed up;(A)
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.(B)

I will now gather them together.(F)
They will begin to waste away(G)
under the oppression of the mighty king.

these have become altars for sinning.(H)
