Hosea 8:7-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
7
For they sow wind
And they harvest a storm.
The standing grain has no kernels;
It yields no grain.
If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it.
8
Israel has been swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one delights.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like
a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has paid fees for lovers.
10
Even though they pay
for allies
among the nations,
I will gather them up now;
And they will begin to diminish
Because of the burden of the king of officials.
King James Version
Chapter 8
7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
7
Indeed, they sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.
Even if they did,
foreigners would swallow it up.
8
Israel is swallowed up!
Now they are among the nations
like discarded pottery.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria
like a wild donkey going off on its own.
Ephraim has paid for love.
10
Even though they hire lovers among the nations,
I will now round them up,
and they will begin to decrease in number
under the burden of the king and leaders.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
7
'They have planted the wind
and will harvest the whirlwind.
The stalks of grain wither
and produce nothing to eat.
And even if there is any grain,
foreigners will eat it.
8
The people of Israel have been swallowed up;
they lie among the nations like an old discarded pot.
9
Like a wild donkey looking for a mate,
they have gone up to Assyria.
The people of Israel have sold themselves —
sold themselves to many lovers.
10
But though they have sold themselves to many allies,
I will now gather them together for judgment.
Then they will writhe
under the burden of the great king.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
7
For they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
strangers would devour it.
8
Israel is swallowed up;
already they are among the nations
as a useless vessel.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria,
a wild donkey wandering alone;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10
Though they hire allies among the nations,
I will soon gather them up.
And the king and princes shall soon writhe
because of the tribute.
New International Version
Chapter 8
7
"They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.
8
Israel is swallowed up;
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria
like a wild donkey wandering alone.
Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.
10
Although they have sold themselves among the nations,
I will now gather them together.
They will begin to waste away
under the oppression of the mighty king.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
7
“They sow the wind,
And reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no bud;
It shall never produce meal.
If it should produce,
Aliens would swallow it up.
8
Israel is swallowed up;
Now they are among the Gentiles
Like a vessel in which
is
no pleasure.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like
a wild donkey alone by itself;
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10
Yes, though they have hired among the nations,
Now I will gather them;
And they shall sorrow a little,
Because of the burden of the king of princes.
