Hosea 7:8-11

Thomson(i) 8 Ephraim was mingled among his tribes; Ephraim was a cake under ashes, which had not been turned. 9 Strangers devoured his strength and he did not know it; grey hairs grew upon him and he did not perceive it. 10 [p] Though it was evident that the haughtiness of Israel would be humbled, yet they did not turn to the Lord their God, nor seek him diligently for all this. 11 [J] Ephraim indeed was like a silly dove which had no understanding; he called upon Egypt: and they went to the Assyrians.
