Hosea 8 Set the horn to thy mouth, and blow: get thee swiftly as an Eagle into the house of the LORD: for they have broken my covenant, and transgressed my law.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Set the horn to thy mouth, and blow: get thee swiftly as an Eagle into the house of the LORD: for they have broken my covenant, and transgressed my law. ² Israel can say unto me, "Thou art my God, we know thee," ³ but he hath refused the thing that is good: therefore shall the enemy follow upon him. ⁴ They have ordained kings, but not through me: they have made princes, and I must not know of it. Of their silver and gold have they made them images, to bring themselves to destruction. ⁵ Thy calf, O Samaria, shall be taken away, for my wrathful indignation is gone forth against thee. How long will it be, before they can be cleansed? ⁶ For the calf came from Israel; the workman made it: therefore can it be no God, but even to a spider's web shall the calf of Samaria be turned. ⁷ They have sown wind, therefore shall they reap a whirlwind. Their seed shall bear no corn, there shall no meal be made of their increase: though they reap, yet shall strangers devour it up. ⁸ Israel shall perish, the Gentiles shall entreat him as a foul vessel. ⁹ Since they went up to the Assyrians, they are become like a wild ass in the desert. Ephraim giveth rewards to get lovers. ¹⁰ Therefore are they scattered among the Heathen; There will I gather them up. They shall soon be weary of the burden of king and princes. ¹¹ Ephraim hath made many altars to do wickedness, therefore shall the altars turn to his sin. ¹² Though I show them my law never so much, they count it but strange doctrine. ¹³ Whereas they do sacrifice, offering the flesh and eating it, the LORD will have no pleasure therein: but will remember their wickedness, and punish their sins. Israel turneth again into Egypt: ¹⁴ they have forgotten him that made them, they build churches, and Judah maketh many strong cities: therefore will I send a fire into their cities, and it shall consume their places.
