(Hos 8:1) {Set} the trumpet to thy mouth. {He shall come} as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
(Hos 8:2) Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
(Hos 8:3) Israel hath cast off {the thing that is} good: the enemy shall pursue him.
(Hos 8:4) They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew {it} not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
(Hos 8:5) Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast {thee} off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long {will it be} ere they attain to innocency?
(Hos 8:6) 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.
(Hos 8:7) 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.
(Hos 8:8) Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein {is} no pleasure.
(Hos 8:9) For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
(Hos 8:10) 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.
(Hos 8:11) Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
(Hos 8:12) I have written to him the great things of my law, {but} they were counted as a strange thing.
(Hos 8:13) 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.
(Hos 8:14) 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.
