Hosea 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.

"Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless— now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria.

So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

"The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves, first calling to Egypt, then flying to Assyria.

"Ephraim is bird-brained, mindless, clueless, First chirping after Egypt, then fluttering after Assyria.

And Ephraim is like a foolish dove, without wisdom; they send out their cry to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

Ephraim has become like a dove, silly and without sense; they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.

"Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense––They call to Egypt, They go to Assyria.

Ephraim has been like a dove, easily deceived and lacking discernment. They called to Egypt for help; they turned to Assyria for protection.
