Hosea 7:11

Then Ephraim saw his sickness, And Judah his sore, So Ephraim went to Assyria And sent to King Jareb. But he is unable to heal you Or to cure you of your sore.

For they have gone up to Assyria Like a wild donkey all alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.

They will not remain in the land of Yahweh, But Ephraim will return to Egypt, And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.

They will come trembling like birds from Egypt And like doves from the land of Assyria; And I will settle them in their houses, declares Yahweh.

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.
