Hosea 8

1 ♥ 📝 [ S et] 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

2 ♥ 📝 They^H3478 shall cry^H2199 unto me, My God,^H430 we Israel know^H3045 thee.

3 ♥ 📝 Israel^H3478 hath cast off^H2186 that which is good:^H2896 the enemy^H341 shall pursue^H7291 him.

4 ♥ 📝 They 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

5 ♥ 📝 He 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

6 ♥ 📝 For 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

7 ♥ 📝 For 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

8 ♥ 📝 Israel^H3478 is swallowed up:^H1104 now are they among the nations^H1471 as a vessel^H3627 wherein none delighteth.^H2656

9 ♥ 📝 For they are gone up^H5927 to Assyria,^H804 [like] a wild ass^H6501 alone^H909 by himself: Ephraim^H669 hath hired^H8566 lovers.^H158

10 ♥ 📝 Yea, 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

11 ♥ 📝 Because Ephraim^H669 hath multiplied^H7235 altars^H4196 for sinning,^H2398 altars^H4196 have been unto him for sinning.^H2398

12 ♥ 📝 I wrote^H3789 for him the ten thousand things^H7230 of my law;^H8451 but they are counted^H2803 as a strange thing.^H2114

13 ♥ 📝 As 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

14 ♥ 📝 For 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.
