KJB-1611 HOS Chapter 8

0 1. 12 Destruction is threatned for their impietie, 5 and idolatrie. VIII ¶ [fn]Set the Trumpet to thy mouth: hee shall come as an Eagle against the house of the LORD, because they haue transgressed my Couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe. 2 Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee. 3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him. 4 They haue set vp Kings, but not by me: they haue made Princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their golde haue they made them idoles, that they may be cut off. 5 ¶ Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it bee ere they attaine to innocencie? 6 For from Israel was it also, the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7 [fn]For they haue sowen the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewinde: it hath no stalke: the budde shall yeeld no meale: if so be it yeeld, the strangers shall swallow it vp. 8 Israel is swallowed vp, now shal they be among the Gentiles, as a vessell wherein is no pleasure. 9 [fn]For they are gone vp to Assyria, a wilde Asse alone by himselfe; Ephraim hath hired louers. 10 [fn]Yea, though they haue 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 sinne, altars shall be vnto him to sinne. 12 I haue written to him the great things of my Law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 13 [fn]They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it; but the LORD accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shal returne to Egypt. 14 For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth temples; and Iudah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
