[a]Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he cometh against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

  1. Hosea 8:1 Or, The trumpet to thy mouth! As an eagle against the house of Jehovah!

Israel Rejects the Good

Put to your lips the trumpet
like a vulture over the house of Yahweh,
because they have broken my covenant[a]
    and rebelled against my law.
They cry out to me,
    “My God! We, Israel, know you!”
Israel has spurned the good;
    the enemy will pursue him.
