Hosea 8:12-14
The Voice
12 It wouldn’t matter how many copies of My law I wrote for him;
he’d treat them all as something strange and foreign.
13 No matter how many sacrifices they offer,
no matter how many sacred meals they eat,
I am not pleased with them.
I’ll remember their guilt and punish their sins:
they’ll return to slavery in Egypt!
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
Judah has built many walled cities.
But I’ll send fire on those cities,
and My righteous wrath will burn up those citadels.
Hosea 8:12-14
New International Version
12 I wrote for them the many things of my law,
but they regarded them as something foreign.(A)
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
and though they eat(B) the meat,
the Lord is not pleased with them.(C)
Now he will remember(D) their wickedness
and punish their sins:(E)
They will return to Egypt.(F)
14 Israel has forgotten(G) their Maker(H)
and built palaces;
Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
that will consume their fortresses.”(I)
