Hosea 8:9 YLT

⁷  For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none -- a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield -- strangers do swallow it up.

⁸  Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.

⁹  For they -- they have gone up 'to' Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself 'is' Ephraim, They have hired lovers!

¹⁰  Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.

¹¹  Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
