Chapter 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. 

 


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.
