Hosea 8

1the trumpet to your mouth. as an eagle against the house of the Yahuah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. 2Israel shall cry unto me, My Elohim, we know you. 3Israel has cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him. 4They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. 5your calf, O Samaria, has cast off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long ere they attain to innocency? 6For from Israel it also: the workman made it; therefore it not Elohim: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it has no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. 8Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein no pleasure. 9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers. 10yes, 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. 11Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. 12I have written to him the great things of my law, they were counted as a strange thing. 13They sacrifice flesh the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat the Yahuah accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. 14For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah has multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
