HO-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.



HO-8:2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.



HO-8:3 Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy 
shall pursue him.



HO-8:4 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.



HO-8:5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is 
kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to 
innocency?



HO-8:6 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.



HO-8:7 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.



HO-8:8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the 
Gentiles as a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure.



HO-8:9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by 
himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.



HO-8:10 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.



HO-8:11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars 
shall be unto him to sin.



HO-8:12 I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] 
they were counted as a strange thing.



HO-8:13 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.



HO-8:14 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.
