Hosea 8:11-14
New International Version
11 “Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,
these have become altars for sinning.(A)
12 I wrote for them the many things of my law,
but they regarded them as something foreign.(B)
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
and though they eat(C) the meat,
the Lord is not pleased with them.(D)
Now he will remember(E) their wickedness
and punish their sins:(F)
They will return to Egypt.(G)
14 Israel has forgotten(H) their Maker(I)
and built palaces;
Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
that will consume their fortresses.”(J)

Hosea 8:11-14
Common English Bible
11 When Ephraim added more altars to take away sin,
they became altars to him for sinning.
12 Even though I write out for him a large number of my instructions,
they are regarded as strange.
13 Though they offer choice sacrifices,[a]
though they eat flesh,
the Lord doesn’t accept them.
Now he will remember their wickedness
and punish their sins;
they will return to Egypt.
14 Israel has forgotten his maker,
and built palaces;
and Judah has multiplied walled cities;
but I will send a fire upon his cities,
and it will devour his fortresses.
