Hosea 8:11-14
New American Standard Bible
11 Since Ephraim has (A)multiplied altars for sin,
They have become altars of sinning for him.
12 Though (B)I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My (C)Law,
They are regarded as a strange thing.
13 As for My (D)sacrificial gifts,
They (E)sacrifice the flesh and eat it,
But the Lord has taken no delight in them.
Now He will (F)remember their guilt,
And (G)punish them for their sins;
They will return to (H)Egypt.
14 For Israel has (I)forgotten his Maker and (J)built palaces;
And Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
But I will send a (K)fire on its cities, and it will consume its palatial buildings.
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.
