Hosea 7:11 Context
9Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and hee knoweth it not: yea, gray haires are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not. 10And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this. 11¶ Ephraim also is like a silly doue, without heart: they call to Egypt; they goe to Assyria. 12When they shall goe, I wil spread my net vpon them, I will bring them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastise them as their congregation hath heard. 13Woe vnto them, for they haue fled from me: destruction vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me, though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lies against me.

Wesley's Notes for Hosea 7:11
7:11 Like a silly dove - Ephraim is now become like the dove in weakness and fear, as well as in imprudence and liableness to be deceived. Without heart - Without either discretion or courage. To Assyria - Instead of going to God, who alone can help.
