Hosea 8:6-14

  1. For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

  2. For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

  3. Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

  4. For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

  5. Yea, 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.

  6. Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

  7. I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

  8. They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

  9. For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
