Hosea 7:11
So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove--calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
Context
11So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense;
         They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

12When they go, I will spread My net over them;
         I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
         I will chastise them in accordance with the proclamation to their assembly.

13Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!
         Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me!
         I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.

14And they do not cry to Me from their heart
         When they wail on their beds;
         For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves,
         They turn away from Me.

15Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
         Yet they devise evil against Me.

16They turn, but not upward,
         They are like a deceitful bow;
         Their princes will fall by the sword
         Because of the insolence of their tongue.
         This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
