Hosea chapter 8 Israel will reap the whirlwind.

Set the trumpet to your lips. One like a vulture is over the house of the Lord,

because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law.

To me they cry, my God, we Israel know you.

Israel has spurned the good.

The enemy shall pursue him.

They made kings, but not through me.

They set up princes, but I knew it not.

With their silver and gold, they made idols for their own destruction.

I have spurned your calf, O Samaria.

My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?

For it is from Israel. A craftsman made it. It is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.

For they sow the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads. It shall yield no flower. If it were to yield, strangers would devour it. Israel is swallowed up. Already they are among

the nations as a useless vessel. For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey wondering alone,

Ephraim has hired lovers. Though they hire allies among the nations,

I will soon gather them up, and the king and princes shall soon writhe because of the tribute.

Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.

Here I write for him my laws by the 10,000s,

they should be regarded as a strange thing.

As for my sacrificial offerings, they sacrifice me and eat it,

but the Lord does not accept them.

Now he will return their iniquity and punish their sins.
