Hosea|8:1|-|A trumpet to your lips!Like an |a|eagle he comes against the house of Jehovah,
Because they have trespassed My |1b|covenantAnd have transgressed against My |1|law.
Hosea|8:2|-|They will cry unto Me,My God, we—Israel—know You.
Hosea|8:3|-|Israel has cast off what is good;The enemy will pursue him.
Hosea|8:4|-|They have set up |a|kings, but not by Me;They have set up princes, but I did not acknowledge it.
With their silver and their gold they madeIdols for themselves,
That they might be cut off.
Hosea|8:5|-|Your |1a|calf has cast you off, O |1|Samaria;My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of |2|innocence?
Hosea|8:6|-|For from Israel is this!A workman made it;
Thus it is no God.The calf of Samaria
Will be shattered to pieces.
Hosea|8:7|-|For they have |a|sown wind,And they will reap a whirlwind.
It has no stalk; should there be a sprout,It will not produce flour;
If it should produce,Strangers will swallow it up.
Hosea|8:8|-|Israel has been swallowed up;Now they have become among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one takes pleasure.
Hosea|8:9|-|For they have gone up to |a|AssyriaLike a wild ass gone alone by itself;
Ephraim has |b|hired lovers.
Hosea|8:10|-|Indeed though they have hired such among the nations,I will now |a|gather them;
And they will begin to be diminished because of the burdenOf the |b|king of the princes.
Hosea|8:11|-|Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,Altars will be to him for sin.
Hosea|8:12|-|I wrote for him the ten thousand things of My law,But they are considered as a strange thing.
Hosea|8:13|-|As for the sacrifices of My offerings,They sacrifice flesh and eat it,
But Jehovah has |a|no delight in them.Now He will |b|remember their iniquity,
And He will punish their sins;They will return to |c|Egypt.
Hosea|8:14|-|For Israel has forgotten his |a|MakerAnd has built palaces,
And Judah has multiplied fortified cities;But I will send |1|fire into his cities,
And it will devour its citadels.
