Hosea 8:8-14

8Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. 9For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. 10Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of the king of princes. 11Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars have been unto him to sin. 12Though I write for him my law in ten thousand precepts, they are counted as a strange thing. 13As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt. 14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
