Hosea 8

Verses of Hosea 8 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - "Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the LORD because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2 - Israel cries out to me, 'O our God, we acknowledge you!'
3 - But Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.
4 - They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction.
5 - Throw out your calf-idol, O Samaria! My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of purity?
6 - They are from Israel! This calf-a craftsman has made it; it is not God. It will be broken in pieces, that calf of Samaria.
7 - "They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.
8 - Israel is swallowed up; now she is among the nations like a worthless thing.
9 - For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.
10 - Although they have sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away under the oppression of the mighty king.
11 - "Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning.
12 - I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something alien.
13 - They offer sacrifices given to me and they eat the meat, but the LORD is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their wickedness and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
14 - Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has fortified many towns. But I will send fire upon their cities that will consume their fortresses."
