Hosea 8:1-3
Revised Standard Version
Israel’s Apostasy
8 Set the trumpet to your lips,
for[a] a vulture is over the house of the Lord,
because they have broken my covenant,
and transgressed my law.
2 To me they cry,
My God, we Israel know thee.
3 Israel has spurned the good;
the enemy shall pursue him.
