| The Book of Hosea 8 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:1 | Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have violated my law. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:2 | They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:3 | Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:4 | They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:5 | Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed ? | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:6 | For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders' webs. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:7 | For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; end if it should yield, strangers shall eat it. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:8 | Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:9 | For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:10 | But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:11 | Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:12 | I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:13 | They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. | |||||||||||||||
| Hosea 8:14 | And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof. | |||||||||||||||
