Hosea 8 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Israel Reaps the Whirlwind

Hos 8:1'Unto thy mouth -- a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.

Hos 8:2

Hos 8:2To Me they cry, 'My God, we -- Israel -- have known Thee.'

Hos 8:3

Hos 8:3Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.

Hos 8:4

Hos 8:4They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.

Hos 8:5

Hos 8:5Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?

Hos 8:6

Hos 8:6For even it is of Israel; an artificer made it, And it is not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!

Hos 8:7

Hos 8:7For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none -- a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield -- strangers do swallow it up.

Hos 8:8

Hos 8:8Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.

Hos 8:9

Hos 8:9For they -- they have gone up to Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself is Ephraim, They have hired lovers!

Hos 8:10

Hos 8:10Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.

Hos 8:11

Hos 8:11Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.

Hos 8:12

Hos 8:12I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.

Hos 8:13

Hos 8:13The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They -- to Egypt they turn back.

Hos 8:14

Hos 8:14And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
