vw - Hosea:8

vw@Hosea:8:1 @ Put the shofar to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed My covenant and have rebelled against My Law.

vw@Hosea:8:2 @ Israel shall cry to Me, My God, we know You.

vw@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel has cast off the good; the enemy shall pursue him.

vw@Hosea:8:4 @ They have set up kings, but not by Me. They have made rulers, but I did not acknowledge it. They made idols for themselves with their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off.

vw@Hosea:8:5 @ O Samaria, your calf has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. How long until they attain to innocence?

vw@Hosea:8:6 @ For it was also from Israel: The craftsman made it, but it is not God. But the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

vw@Hosea:8:7 @ For they sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind. It has no stalk; the bud shall yield no flour. If it should happen to produce, strangers will swallow it up.

vw@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which is no pleasure.

vw@Hosea:8:9 @ For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.

vw@Hosea:8:10 @ Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now I will gather them; and they shall begin to be few, because of the burden of the king of rulers.

vw@Hosea:8:11 @ Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, they are altars to him to sin.

vw@Hosea:8:12 @ I have written the great things of My Law for him, but they were counted as a strange thing.

vw@Hosea:8:13 @ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of My offerings, and they eat; but Jehovah does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return to Egypt.

vw@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall burn up his palaces.
