Hosea 7:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹ “The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves,
    first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria for help.
¹² But as they fly about,
    I will throw my net over them
and bring them down like a bird from the sky.
    I will punish them for all the evil they do.^[a]

¹³ “What sorrow awaits those who have deserted me!
    Let them die, for they have rebelled against me.
I wanted to redeem them,
    but they have told lies about me.
