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
Revised Standard Version
11 Because E′phraim has multiplied altars for sinning,
they have become to him altars for sinning.
12 Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands,
they would be regarded as a strange thing.
13 They love sacrifice;[a]
they sacrifice flesh and eat it;
but the Lord has no delight in them.
Now he will remember their iniquity,
and punish their sins;
they shall return to Egypt.
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker,
and built palaces;
and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;
but I will send a fire upon his cities,
and it shall devour his strongholds.
