CHAPTER 8
Hosea 8:1
1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of
the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my
law.
Hosea 8:2
2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. Hosea 8:3
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Hosea 8:4
4 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.
Hosea 8:5
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them:
how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? Hosea 8:6
6 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. Hosea 8:7
7 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.
Hosea 8:8
8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel
wherein is no pleasure.
Hosea 8:9
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath
hired lovers.
Hosea 8:10
10 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. Hosea 8:11
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to
sin.
Hosea 8:12
12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a
strange thing.
Hosea 8:13
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but
the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit
their sins: they shall return to Egypt. Hosea 8:14
14 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. CHAPTER 9
Hosea 9:1
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring
from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor. Hosea 9:2
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail
in her.
Hosea 9:3
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. Hosea 9:4
4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be
pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of
mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their
soul shall not come into the house  of the LORD. Hosea 9:5
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Hosea 9:6
6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up,
Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall
possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles. Hosea 9:7
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel
shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad,  for the
multitude  of thine iniquity,  and the great  hatred. Hosea 9:8
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a
fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God. Hosea 9:9
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he
will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. Hosea 9:10
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the
firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and
separated themselves unto that shame;  and their abominations  were according
as they loved.
Hosea 9:11
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and
from the womb, and from the conception. Hosea 9:12
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there
shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! Hosea
9:13
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall
bring forth his children to the murderer. Hosea 9:14
14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry
breasts.
Hosea 9:15
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the
wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love
them no more: all their princes are revolters. Hosea 9:16
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea,
though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Hosea 9:17
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they
shall be wanderers among the nations. CHAPTER 10
Hosea 10:1
1 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to
the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the
goodness of his land they have made goodly images. Hosea 10:2
2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down
their altars, he shall spoil their images. Hosea 10:3
3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what
then should a king do to us?
Hosea 10:4
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment
springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. Hosea 10:5
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for
the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced
on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. Hosea 10:6
6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim
shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. Hosea 10:7
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. Hosea 10:8
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the
thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the
mountains, Cover us; and to the hills,  Fall  on us. Hosea 10:9
9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the
battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. Hosea
10:10
10 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be
gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
Hosea 10:11
11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the
corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah
shall plow,  and Jacob  shall break his clods. Hosea 10:12
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow
ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness
upon you.
Hosea 10:13
13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit
of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty
men.
Hosea 10:14
14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses
shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother
was dashed in pieces upon her children. Hosea 10:15
15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning
shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
