Hosea 7:12
Berean Standard Bible
As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.*
Context
10Israel’s arrogance testifies against them,
yet they do not return to the LORD their God;
despite all this, they do not seek Him. 11So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove—
calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria. 12As they go, I will spread My net over them;
I will bring them down like birds of the air.
I will chastise them
when I hear them flocking together.* 13Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!
Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me!
Though I would redeem them,
they speak lies against Me. 14They do not cry out to Me from their hearts
when they wail upon their beds.
They slash themselves * for grain and new wine,
but turn away from Me.
