Hosea 8 - ESV Bible - Set the trumpet to your lips! One like a vulture...

1 Set ¹the trumpet to your lips! One ²like a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because ³they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law.

2 To me they cry, ⁴"My God, we--Israel--know you."

3 Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.

4 ⁵They made kings, ⁶but not through me. They set up princes, but I knew it not. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.

5 ⁷I have^a spurned your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. ⁸How long will they be incapable of innocence?

6 For it is from Israel; a craftsman made it; it is not God. ⁹The calf of Samaria ¹⁰shall be broken to pieces.^b

7 For ¹¹they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no flour; if it were to yield, ¹²strangers would devour it.

8 ¹³Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as ¹⁴a useless vessel.

9 For ¹⁵they have gone up to Assyria, ¹⁶a wild donkey wandering alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.

10 Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And ¹⁷the king and princes ¹⁸shall soon writhe because of the tribute.

11 Because Ephraim ¹⁹has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.

12 ²⁰Were I to write for him my laws by the ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.

13 As for my sacrificial offerings, ²¹they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. ²²Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; ²³they shall return to Egypt.

14 For ²⁴Israel has forgotten ²⁵his Maker and ²⁶built palaces, and ²⁷Judah has multiplied fortified cities; so ²⁸I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour her strongholds.
