Hosea 8:1-3
New Living Translation
Israel Harvests the Whirlwind
8 “Sound the alarm!
The enemy descends like an eagle on the people of the Lord,
for they have broken my covenant
and revolted against my law.
2 Now Israel pleads with me,
‘Help us, for you are our God!’
3 But it is too late.
The people of Israel have rejected what is good,
and now their enemies will chase after them.
Hosea 8:1-3
Common English Bible
Divine proclamation about Israel’s idolatry
8 Put a trumpet to your lips!
It’s as if a bird of prey has flown over the Lord’s house,
because they have broken my covenant,
and have not kept my Instruction.
2 Israel cries to me,
“My God, we know you!”
3 Israel has turned away from the good;
the enemy will pursue him.
