Hosea 8:12

Israel Rejects The Good

¹¹ Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. ¹² I have prescribed unto him the manifold things of my law: they are counted as a strange thing. ¹³ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; Jehovah hath no delight in them. Now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
