Hosea 8

1SET the trumpetH7782 to thy mouthH2441. As an eagleH5404 he cometh againstH5921 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: becauseH5921 they have transgressedH6586 my covenantH1285, and trespassed againstH5921 my lawH8451. 2They shall cryH2199 unto meH3045, My GodH430, we IsraelH3478 knowH3045 thee. 3IsraelH3478 hath cast off that which is goodH2896: the enemyH341 shall pursueH7291 him. 4They have setH6213 upH4480 kings, but notH3808 by meH4480; they have madeH6213 princesH8323, and I knewH3045 it notH3808: of their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 have they madeH6213 them idolsH6091, that they may be cutH3772 offH3772. 5He hath cast off thy calfH5695, O SamariaH8111; mine angerH639 is kindledH2734 againstH2734 them: howH4970 longH5704 will it be ere they attain to innocency? 6For from IsraelH3478 is evenH3588 this; the workman madeH6213 it, and it is noH3808 GodH430: yeaH3588, the calfH5695 of SamariaH8111 shall be brokenH7616 in piecesH7616. 7For they sowH2232 the windH7307, and they shall reapH7114 the whirlwind: he hath noH369 standingH7054 corn; the blade shall yieldH1097 noH369 mealH7058; ifH3588 soH6213 be it yieldH1097, strangersH2114 shall swallowH1104 it upH1104. 8IsraelH3478 is swallowedH1104 upH1104: nowH6258 are they among the nationsH1471 as a vesselH3627 wherein is noH369 pleasureH2656. 9For they are goneH5927 upH5927 to AssyriaH804, like a wildH6501 ass aloneH909 by himself: EphraimH669 hath hiredH8566 loversH158. 10YeaH3588, thoughH3588 they hireH8566 among the nationsH1471, nowH6258 will I gatherH6908 them; and they beginH2490 to be minished by reason of the burdenH4853 of the kingH4428 of princesH8269. 11BecauseH3588 EphraimH669 hath multipliedH7235 altarsH4196 to sinH2398, altarsH4196 have been unto him to sinH2398. 12Though I writeH3789 for him my lawH8451 in tenH7239 thousandH7239 precepts, they are countedH2803 as a strangeH2114 thing. 13As for the sacrificesH2077 of mine offeringsH3068, they sacrificeH2077 fleshH1320 and eatH398 it; but the LORDH3068 accepteth them notH3808: nowH6258 will he rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403; they shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714. 14For IsraelH3478 hath forgottenH7911 his Maker, and builded palacesH759; and JudahH3063 hath multipliedH7235 fenced citiesH5892: but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 uponH784 his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 the castles thereof.
