Hosea 8:9-14

Hosea 8:9-14 CSB

For they have gone up to Assyria  like a wild donkey going off on its own. Ephraim has paid for love.  Even though they hire lovers among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to decrease in number  under the burden of the king and leaders.  When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin,  they became his altars for sinning. Though I were to write out for him ten thousand points of my instruction,  they would be  regarded as something strange. Though they offer sacrificial gifts  , and eat the flesh,  the Lord does not accept them. Now he will remember their guilt  and punish their sins;  they will return to Egypt.  Israel has forgotten his Maker  and built palaces;  Judah has also multiplied fortified cities. I will send fire on their cities,  and it will consume their citadels.
