Hosea 何西阿书08

（单词翻译）

8"Put the trumpet¹ to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the Lord because the people have broken my covenant² and rebelled against my law.
2Israel cries out to me, 'O our God, we acknowledge you!'
3But Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.
4They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols³ for themselves to their own destruction.
5Throw out your calf⁴-idol, O Samaria! My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable⁵ of purity?
6They are from Israel! This calf-a craftsman⁶ has made it; it is not God. It will be broken in pieces, that calf of Samaria.
7"They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.
8Israel is swallowed up; now she is among the nations like a worthless thing.
9For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.
10Although they have sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away under the oppression of the mighty⁷ king.
11"Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning.
12I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something alien.
13They offer sacrifices given to me and they eat the meat, but the Lord is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their wickedness and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
14Israel has forgotten his Maker⁸ and built palaces; Judah has fortified⁹ many towns. But I will send fire upon their cities that will consume their fortresses¹⁰."
