Hosea 8:10 BBE

⁸  Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.

⁹  For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.

¹⁰  But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.

¹¹  Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.

¹²  Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.
