Oseas 8

1Set the trumpet^H7782 to thy mouth^H2441. As an eagle^H5404 he cometh against the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, because they have transgressed^H5674 my covenant^H1285, and trespassed^H6586 against my law^H8451. 2They^H3478 shall cry^H2199 unto me, My God^H430, we Israel know^H3045 thee. 3Israel^H3478 hath cast off^H2186 that which is good^H2896: the enemy^H341 shall pursue^H7291 him. 4They have set up kings^H4427, but not by me; they have made princes^H7786, and I knew^H3045 it not: of their silver^H3701 and their gold^H2091 have they made^H6213 them idols^H6091, that they may be cut off^H3772. 5He hath cast^H2186 off thy calf^H5695, O Samaria^H8111; mine anger^H639 is kindled^H2734 against them: how long will it be ere^H3808 they attain^H3201 to innocency^H5356? 6For from Israel^H3478 is even this; the workman^H2796 made^H6213 it, and it is no God^H430; yea, the calf^H5695 of Samaria^H8111 shall be broken in pieces^H7616. 7For they sow^H2232 the wind^H7307, and they shall reap^H7114 the whirlwind^H5492: he hath no standing^H7054 grain; the blade^H6780 shall yield^H6213 no meal^H7058; if^H194 so be it yield^H6213, strangers^H2114 shall swallow it up^H1104. 8Israel^H3478 is swallowed up^H1104: now are they among the nations^H1471 as a vessel^H3627 wherein none delighteth^H2656. 9For they are gone up^H5927 to Assyria^H804, like a wild ass^H6501 alone^H909 by himself: Ephraim^H669 hath hired^H8566 lovers^H158. 10Yea, though they hire^H8566 among the nations^H1471, now will I gather^H6908 them; and they begin^H4592 to be diminished^H2490 by reason of the burden^H4853 of the king^H4428 of princes^H8269. 11Because Ephraim^H669 hath multiplied^H7235 altars^H4196 for sinning^H2398, altars^H4196 have been unto him for sinning^H2398. 12I wrote^H3789 for him the ten thousand things^H7230 of my law^H8451; but they are counted^H2803 as a strange thing^H2114. 13As for the sacrifices^H2076 of mine offerings^H1890, they sacrifice^H2077 flesh^H1320 and eat^H398 it; but Jehovah^H3068 accepteth^H7521 them not: now will he remember^H2142 their iniquity^H5771, and visit^H6485 their sins^H2403; they shall return^H7725 to Egypt^H4714. 14For Israel^H3478 hath forgotten^H7911 his Maker^H6213, and builded^H1129 palaces^H1964; and Judah^H3063 hath multiplied^H7235 fortified^H1219 cities^H5892: but I will send^H7971 a fire^H784 upon his cities^H5892, and it shall devour^H398 the castles^H759 thereof.
