Hosea

Chapter 8

1 Set the trumpet7782 to413 thy mouth.2441 He shall come as an eagle5404 against5921 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 because3282 they have transgressed5674 my covenant,1285 and trespassed6586 against5921 my law.8451

2 Israel3478 shall cry2199 unto me, My God,430 we know3045 thee.

3 Israel3478 hath cast off2186 the thing that is good:2896 the enemy341 shall pursue7291 him.

4 They1992 have set up kings,4427 but not3808 by4480 me: they have made princes,8323 and I knew3045 it not:3808 of their silver3701 and their gold2091 have they made6213 them idols,6091 that4616 they may be cut off.3772

5 Thy calf,5695 O Samaria,8111 hath cast thee off;2186 mine anger639 is kindled2734 against them: how long5704 4970 will it be ere3808 they attain3201 to innocency?5356

6 For3588 from Israel4480 3478 was it1931 also: the workman2796 made6213 it;1931 therefore it is not3808 God:430 but3588 the calf5695 of Samaria8111 shall be1961 broken in pieces.7616

7 For3588 they have sown2232 the wind,7307 and they shall reap7114 the whirlwind:5492 it hath no369 stalk:7054 the bud6780 shall yield6213 no1097 meal:7058 if so be194 it yield,6213 the strangers2114 shall swallow it up.1104

8 Israel3478 is swallowed up:1104 now6258 shall they be1961 among the Gentiles1471 as a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure.2656

9 For3588 they1992 are gone up5927 to Assyria,804 a wild ass6501 alone909 by himself: Ephraim669 hath hired8566 lovers.158

10 Yea,1571 though3588 they have hired8566 among the nations,1471 now6258 will I gather6908 them, and they shall sorrow2490 a little4592 for the burden4480 4853 of the king4428 of princes.8269

11 Because3588 Ephraim669 hath made many7235 altars4196 to sin,2398 altars4196 shall be1961 unto him to sin.2398

12 I have written3789 to him the great things7230 of my law,8451 but they were counted2803 as3644 a strange thing.2114

13 They sacrifice2076 flesh1320 for the sacrifices2077 of mine offerings,1890 and eat398 it; but the LORD3068 accepteth7521 them not;3808 now6258 will he remember2142 their iniquity,5771 and visit6485 their sins:2403 they1992 shall return7725 to Egypt.4714

14 For Israel3478 hath forgotten7911 853 his Maker,6213 and buildeth1129 temples;1964 and Judah3063 hath multiplied7235 fenced1219 cities:5892 but I will send7971 a fire784 upon his cities,5892 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof.

Hosea

Chapter 8

1 LET your mouth become like a trumpet. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant and trespassed my law.

2 They have called to me, saying, O our God, we know thee.

3 Israel has forgotten the good; the enemy has pursued him.

4 They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but they did not let me know; of their silver and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they may perish.

5 They have been led astray by your calf, O Samaria; my anger is kindled against them; how long will it be before they can be declared innocent?

6 For the idol is the product of Israel; a carpenter made it, therefore it is not God; but your calf, O Samaria, was made for deception.

7 For they have sown the wind, and they have reaped the whirlwind; it has no stalk, nor an ear to yield meal; and if it were to yield, the strangers shall eat it.

8 Israel is swallowed up; now they are among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no use.

9 For they are gone up to Assyria, as a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim has loved gifts.

10 Though they shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, I will gather them, and they shall rest a while from the burden of the kings and the princes.

11 Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars have become to him for a great sin.

12 I have written to him many of my laws, but my words he considered as a strange thing.

13 They sacrifice the choicest of animals and eat the meat; but the LORD has no delight in them; now he will remember their iniquity and punish them for their sins; they shall return to Egypt.

14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities: but I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

4 They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but they did not let me know; of their silver and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they may perish.

5 Thy calf,5695 O Samaria,8111 hath cast thee off;2186 mine anger639 is kindled2734 against them: how long5704 4970 will it be ere3808 they attain3201 to innocency?5356

5 They have been led astray by your calf, O Samaria; my anger is kindled against them; how long will it be before they can be declared innocent?

6 For3588 from Israel4480 3478 was it1931 also: the workman2796 made6213 it;1931 therefore it is not3808 God:430 but3588 the calf5695 of Samaria8111 shall be1961 broken in pieces.7616

8 Israel3478 is swallowed up:1104 now6258 shall they be1961 among the Gentiles1471 as a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure.2656

8 Israel is swallowed up; now they are among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no use.

9 For3588 they1992 are gone up5927 to Assyria,804 a wild ass6501 alone909 by himself: Ephraim669 hath hired8566 lovers.158

9 For they are gone up to Assyria, as a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim has loved gifts.

10 Yea,1571 though3588 they have hired8566 among the nations,1471 now6258 will I gather6908 them, and they shall sorrow2490 a little4592 for the burden4480 4853 of the king4428 of princes.8269

10 Though they shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, I will gather them, and they shall rest a while from the burden of the kings and the princes.

11 Because3588 Ephraim669 hath made many7235 altars4196 to sin,2398 altars4196 shall be1961 unto him to sin.2398

11 Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars have become to him for a great sin.

13 They sacrifice the choicest of animals and eat the meat; but the LORD has no delight in them; now he will remember their iniquity and punish them for their sins; they shall return to Egypt.

14 For Israel3478 hath forgotten7911 853 his Maker,6213 and buildeth1129 temples;1964 and Judah3063 hath multiplied7235 fenced1219 cities:5892 but I will send7971 a fire784 upon his cities,5892 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof.
