Hosea 8

1 To mouth your a horn like eagle over [the] house of Yahweh because they have transgressed covenant my and on law my they have rebelled.

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he comes against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

2 To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.

They shall cry to me, My God, we, Israel know thee.

3 It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.

Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy shall pursue him.

4 They they have made kings and not from me they have installed leaders and not I knew silver their and gold their they have made for themselves idols so that it may be cut off.

They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols of their silver and their gold, that they may be cut off.

He has cast off thy calf, O Samaria. My anger is kindled against them. How long will it be ere they attain to innocence?

6 For [are] from Israel and it a craftsman he made it and not [is] God it for fragments it will become [the] calf of Samaria.

For even this is from Israel: the workman made it, and it is no God. Yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

7 For a wind they sow and a storm-wind they will reap standing grain not [belongs] to it growth not it will produce flour perhaps it will produce strangers they will swallow it.

For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The blade shall yield no meal. If so be it yields, strangers shall swallow it up.

8 It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.

Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which no man delights.

9 For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)

For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.

10 also for they will hire among the nations now I will gather them and they have begun a few from [the] burden of a king princes.

Yea, though they hire among the nations, I will now gather them, and they shall begin to be diminished because of the burden of the king of rulers.

11 For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.

Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been to him for sinning.

12 (I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.

I wrote for him the multitude of my law, but they are counted as a strange thing.

13 [the] sacrifices of Gifts my they sacrifice flesh and they ate [it] Yahweh not he is pleased with them now he will remember iniquity their so he may punish sins their they Egypt they will return.

As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it, but Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. They shall return to Egypt.

14 And he has forgotten Israel maker his and he has built palaces and Judah he has multiplied cities fortified and I will send fire on cities his and it will consume fortresses his.

For Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
