Book 15 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - HOSEA - Chapter 008
08:001
Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against
the house of HaShem; because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed
against My law
08:002
Will they cry unto Me: 'My G-d, we Israel know Thee'
08:003
Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall
pursue him
08:004
They have set up kings, but not from 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
08:005
Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled
against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency
08:006
For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it
is no G-d; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers
08:007
For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind;
it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers
shall swallow it up
08:008
Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the
nations as a vessel wherein is no value
08:009
For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by
himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers
08:010
Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather
them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and
princes
08:011
For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars
have been unto him to sin
08:012
Though I write for him never so many things of My Law,
they are accounted as a stranger's
08:013
As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let
them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for HaShem accepteth them not. Now will He
remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt
08:014
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces,
and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his
cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof
