Hosea 8:5-14

5Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 6For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.1

8Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure. 9For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.2 10Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.34 11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin. 12I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 13They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of my offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and judge their sins: they shall return to Egypt.5 14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his palaces.
