Hosea 7:11

Israel Turns to Assyria and Egypt for Help

7:11 Ephraim has been like a dove,

easily deceived and lacking discernment.

They called to Egypt for help;

they turned to Assyria for protection.

Hosea 11:11

11:11 They will return in fear and trembling ¹ 

like birds from Egypt,

like doves from Assyria,

and I will settle them in their homes,” declares the Lord.
