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
International Standard Version
11 “The more altars Ephraim builds for sin,
the more altars there will be for sin.
12 I prescribed great things from my Law for them,[a]
but they considered them profane.
13 They offer me meat from the sacrifices of my offerings,
and they eat from it,
but the Lord does not accept them.
He will now remember their transgression
and pay them back for their sins;
to Egypt they will return.
14 “Israel has neglected its maker in building palaces.
Judah has multiplied its fortified cities,
but I will send fire to their cities,
and it will consume their fortresses.”
