Hosea
Chapter 8
1 Set the trumpet to your mouth.
He
shall come as an eagle
against
the house of Jehovah/God,
because
they have transgressed My covenant,
and
trespassed against My law.
2
Israel shall cry unto me,
My
'Elohiym/Godhead, we know You.
3 Israel has cast off the thing that is good.
The enemy shall pursue him.
4 They have set up kings, but not by Me.
They
have made princes,
and
I knew it not.
Of
their silver and their gold
have
they made themselves idols . . .
that
they may be cut off.
5 Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off.
My anger is kindled against them.
How long . . . before they attain 'freedom from guilt'?
6 For from Israel was it also.
The workman made it.
Therefore it is not 'Elohiym/Godhead,
but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
{Intensive
discipline}
7~~For
they have sown the wind,
and
they shall reap the whirlwind.
It has no stalk.
The bud shall yield no meal.
If
it does yield,
the
strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up.
Now
shall they be among the Gentiles
as
a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9
For they are gone up to Assyria,
a
wild ass alone by himself.
Ephraim has hired lovers.
10
Yes, though they have 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 has made many altars to sin,
altars
shall be unto him to sin.
12
I have written to him the great things of My law,
but
they were counted as a strange thing.
13
They sacrifice flesh
for
the sacrifices of My offerings, and eat it.
But Jehovah/God accepts them not.
Now
will He remember their iniquity,
and
visit their sins.
They shall return to Egypt.
14
For Israel has forgotten His Maker,
and
built temples.
And Judah has multiplied fenced cities.
But
I will send a fire upon his cities,
and
it shall devour the palaces thereof.
