< 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. He shall come as an eagle against the house of Yhwh, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2 To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3 It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.
Israel hath cast off the thing that 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 princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 He has rejected calf your O Samaria it has burned anger my on them until when? not will they be able innocence.
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
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 from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but 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 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.
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: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim hath 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 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 For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 (I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were 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.
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but Yhwh accepteth them not; now will he 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 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.
