8:1 [Set] the trumpet 7782 to thy mouth 2441. [He shall come] as an eagle 5404 against the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, because they have transgressed 5674 8804 my covenant 1285, and trespassed 6586 8804 against my law 8451.(thy: Heb. the roof of thy)

8:2 Israel 3478 shall cry 2199 8799 unto me, My God 430, we know 3045 8804 thee.

8:3 Israel 3478 hath cast off 2186 8804 [the thing that is] good 2896: the enemy 341 8802 shall pursue 7291 8799 him.

8:4 They have set up kings 4427 8689, but not by me: they have made princes 7786 8689, and I knew 3045 8804 [it] not: of their silver 3701 and their gold 2091 have they made 6213 8804 them idols 6091, that they may be cut off 3772 8735.

8:5 Thy calf 5695, O Samaria 8111, hath cast 2186 8804 [thee] off; mine anger 639 is kindled 2734 8804 against them: how long [will it be] ere 3808 they attain 3201 8799 to innocency 5356?

8:6 For from Israel 3478 [was] it also: the workman 2796 made 6213 8804 it; therefore it [is] not God 430: but the calf 5695 of Samaria 8111 shall be broken in pieces 7616.

8:7 For they have sown 2232 8799 the wind 7307, and they shall reap 7114 8799 the whirlwind 5492: it hath no stalk 7054: the bud 6780 shall yield 6213 8799 no meal 7058: if 194 so be it yield 6213 8799, the strangers 2114 8801 shall swallow it up 1104 8799.(stalk: or, standing corn)

8:8 Israel 3478 is swallowed up 1104 8738: now shall they be among the Gentiles 1471 as a vessel 3627 wherein [is] no pleasure 2656.

8:9 For they are gone up 5927 8804 to Assyria 804, a wild ass 6501 alone 909 8802 by himself: Ephraim 669 hath hired 8566 8689 lovers 158.(lovers: Heb. loves)

8:10 Yea, though they have hired 8566 8799 among the nations 1471, now will I gather 6908 8762 them, and they shall sorrow 2490 8686 a little 4592 for the burden 4853 of the king 4428 of princes 8269.(sorrow: or, begin)(a…: or, in a little while)

8:11 Because Ephraim 669 hath made many 7235 8689 altars 4196 to sin 2398 8800, altars 4196 shall be unto him to sin 2398 8800.

8:12 I have written 3789 8799 to him the great things 7230 8675 7239 of my law 8451, [but] they were counted 2803 8738 as a strange thing 2114 8801.

8:13 They sacrifice 2076 8799 flesh 1320 [for] the sacrifices 2077 of mine offerings 1890, and eat 398 8799 [it; but] the LORD 3068 accepteth 7521 8804 them not; now will he remember 2142 8799 their iniquity 5771, and visit 6485 8799 their sins 2403: they shall return 7725 8799 to Egypt 4714.(They sacrifice…: or, In the sacrifices of mine offerings they, etc)

8:14 For Israel 3478 hath forgotten 7911 8799 his Maker 6213 8802, and buildeth 1129 8799 temples 1964; and Judah 3063 hath multiplied 7235 8689 fenced 1219 8803 cities 5892: but I will send 7971 8765 a fire 784 upon his cities 5892, and it shall devour 398 8804 the palaces 759 thereof.
