Hosea (KJV) 8
8 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.
2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy
shall pursue him.
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.
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?
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.
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.
8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the
Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by
himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
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.
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars
shall be unto him to sin.
12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but
they were counted as a strange thing.
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.
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.
