28_HOS_08_01 [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.
28_HOS_08_02 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
28_HOS_08_03 Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
28_HOS_08_04 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.
28_HOS_08_05 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocency?
28_HOS_08_06 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.
28_HOS_08_07 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.
28_HOS_08_08 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure.
28_HOS_08_09 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
28_HOS_08_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.
28_HOS_08_11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
28_HOS_08_12 I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
28_HOS_08_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.
28_HOS_08_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.
