Hosea 7:9-10

7:9 Foreigners are consuming what his strenuous labor produced,

but he does not recognize it!

His head is filled with gray hair,

but he does not realize it!

7:10 The arrogance of Israel testifies against him,

yet they refuse to return to the Lord their God!

In spite of all this they refuse to seek him!


tn Heb “foreigners consume his strength”; NRSV “devour (sap NIV) his strength.”
