Hosea 7:7-9

Revised Standard Version

⁷All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All their kings have fallen;
and none of them calls upon me.

⁸E′phraim mixes himself with the peoples;
    E′phraim is a cake not turned.
⁹Aliens devour his strength,
    and he knows it not;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
    and he knows it not.
