Hosea 7:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ Foreigners devour his strength,
    but he does not know it;
grey hairs are sprinkled upon him,
    but he does not know it.
¹⁰ Israel’s pride testifies against^[a] him;
    yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
    or seek him, for all this.

¹¹ Ephraim has become like a dove,
    silly and without sense;
    they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.
