Hosea 12:1

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Ephraim is chasing after nothing but empty promises and broken dreams. Every day they pile on more lies and destruction. They're making deals with Assyria while secretly trading with Egypt too.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Stop chasing what's empty and playing both sides — it only leads to more mess.
