Gottes Neue Offenbarungen

The Prophet Hosea

Literal Standard Version 2020

- Kapitel 8 -

1
To your moutha horn, || As an eagle against the house of YHWH, || Because they transgressed My covenant, || And against My law they have rebelled.
2
To Me they cry, My God, weIsraelhave known You.
3
Israel has cast off good, an enemy pursues him.
4
They 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.
5
Your calf has cast off, O Samaria, || My anger has burned against them; Until when are they not capable of purity?
6
For even it [is] of Israel; a craftsman made it, || And it [is] not God, || For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
7
For wind they sow, and a windstorm they reap, || Stalk it has nonea shoot not yielding grain, || If so be it yieldstrangers swallow it up.
8
Israel has been swallowed up, || Now they have been among nations, || As a vessel in which is no delight.
9
For they have gone up [to] Asshur, || A wild donkey alone by himself [is] Ephraim, || They have hired lovers!
10
Also though they hire among nations, || Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, || From the burden of a king of princes.
11
Because Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, || They have been to him altars to sin.
12
I write for him numerous things of My law, || As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
13
The sacrifices of My offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, || YHWH has not accepted them, || Now He remembers their iniquity, || And inspects their sin, || They return [to] Egypt.
14
And Israel forgets his Maker, and builds temples, || And Judah has multiplied cities of defense, || And I have sent a fire into his cities, || And it has consumed their palaces!”
