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.
To thy mouth, with a horn! Like an eagle, on the house of Yahweh, —because they have violated my covenant, and, against my law, have they transgressed.
2 To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.
Unto me, shall they make outcry, My God! we acknowledge thee—[we], Israel!
3 It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.
Israel hath cast away what is good, —an 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 appointed kings, but not from me, have made rulers, but I have not acknowledged them: of their silver and their gold, they made themselves idols, to the end they might 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.
He hath cast away thy calf, O Samaria, kindled is mine anger upon them, —How long shall they not endure to be innocent?
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, of Israel, is even that thing! A craftsman, made it, and, a No-god, it is! For, into fragments, shall the Calf of Samaria be broken.
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, to the wind, they sow, and, to the whirlwind, they reap: stalk, hath it none, That which shooteth forth, shall yield no meal, If so be it yield, foreigners, swallow it lip,
8 It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.
Swallowed up, is Israel; Now, have they gone among the nations, like a vessel in which no man taketh, delight.
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, A wild ass going alone for himself, is Ephraim! They have 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.
Even though they hire them among the nations, at once, will I gather them, when they have begun to be diminished by reason 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 hath multiplied altars sinfully, they have become to him the altars of 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 been wont to write for him the myriad things of my law, —Like something alien, have they been accounted.
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.
My sacrificial gifts, have they been sacrificing as [common] flesh, and have eaten, Yahweh, hath not accepted them, —Now, will he call to mind their iniquity, that he may punish their sin, they, to Egypt, will return.
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.
And so Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples, and, Judah, hath multiplied fortified cities, —Therefore will I send a fire upon his cities, and it shall consume the palaces thereof.
