Hosea 8 📜 📕 ↷
Israel Will Reap the Whirlwind
1 IN thy throat let there be a trumpet as an eagle upon the house of the Lord: for that they have transgressed my covenant, and have prevaricated my law.📜💬📚
2 Me they shall invocate: My God, we Israel have known thee.📜💬📚
3 Israel hath cast away the good thing, the enemy shall persecute him.📜💬📚
4 They have reigned, & not of me: they have been Princes, & I knew not: their silver & their gold they made idols to themselves, that they might perish.📜💬📚
5 Thy calf is cast off o Samaria, my fury is wrath against them. How long can they not be cleansed?📜💬📚
6 Because it-self also is of Israel: the workman made it, and it is not God: because the calf of Samaria shall be as spiders' webs.📜💬📚
7 Because they shall sow wind, & reap a whirlwind: there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall not yield meal: & if it do yield, strangers shall eat it.📜💬📚
8 Israel is devoured: Now is he become in nations as an unclean vessel.📜💬📚
9 Because they went up to Assur, a wild ass solitary to himself: Ephraim have given gifts to lovers.📜💬📚
10 Yea and when they shall hire the nations with reward, now will I gather them together: & they shall rest a while from the burden of the king and the princes.📜💬📚
11 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin: altars are made to him unto sin.📜💬📚
12 I will write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as strange.📜💬📚
13 They shall offer hosts, they shall immolate flesh, and shall eat, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return into AEgypt.📜💬📚
14 And Israel hath forgotten his maker, and hath built temples: and Judas hath multiplied fenced cities: & I will cast fire on his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.📜💬📚
