Hosea 8:11-14
Christian Standard Bible
11 When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin,(A)
they became his altars for sinning.
12 Though I were to write out for him
ten thousand points of my instruction,(B)
they would be[a] regarded as something strange.
13 Though they offer sacrificial gifts[b](C)
and eat the flesh,(D)
the Lord does not accept them.
Now he will remember their guilt(E)
and punish their sins;(F)
they will return to Egypt.(G)
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker(H) and built palaces;(I)
Judah has also multiplied fortified cities.
I will send fire on their cities,(J)
and it will consume their citadels.
Hosea 8:11-14
Lexham English Bible
11 When Ephraim multiplied altars
to expiate sins,
they became to him altars to sin on.
12 I write for him myriads of my instruction;[a]
they are regarded as a strange thing.
13 They offer sacrifices of my choice[b]
and they eat flesh;
Yahweh does not accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity
and punish their sins;
they will return to Egypt.
14 Israel has forgotten his maker and built palaces,
and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
but I will send fire on his cities
and it will devour her strongholds.
