Hosea 8 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Hosea 8Israel’s Apostasy

1 is over the house of the Lord,

because they have broken my covenant

and transgressed my law.

2

3Israel has spurned the good;

the enemy shall pursue him.

4

though they eat flesh,

the Lord does not accept them.

Now he will remember their iniquity

and punish their sins;

they shall return to Egypt.

14 Jer 17.27; Hos 2.13; 13.6 Israel has forgotten his Maker

and built palaces,

and Judah has multiplied fortified cities,

but I will send a fire upon his cities,

and it shall devour his strongholds.
