Hosea 8
|
|
| 8:1
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house
of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed
against my law. |
|
| 8:2
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. |
|
| 8:3
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. |
|
| 8:4
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 them idols, that they may be cut
off. |
"They have made princes, and I knew it not."
Does God know everything?
|
| 8:5
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against
them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? |
|
| 8:6
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God:
but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. |
|
| 8:7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no
stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall
swallow it up. |
BOM: Mosiah 7:30
|
| 8:8
Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel
wherein is no pleasure. |
|
| 8:9
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath
hired lovers. |
|
| 8:10
Yea, 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. |
|
| 8:11
Because Ephraim
hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. |
(8:11-13)
Will Ephraim return to Egypt?
|
| 8:12
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as
a strange thing. |
|
| 8:13
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but
the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit
their sins: they shall
return to Egypt. |
|
| 8:14
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath
multiplied fenced cities: but I
will send a fire upon his cities, and it
shall devour the palaces thereof.
|
"I will send a fire upon his cities."
