Hosea 7:11
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
In context
9 Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
11 So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
12 As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.
