Hosea 8:13

Israel Rejects The Good

¹² Though I were to write out for him
ten thousand points of My instruction,
they would be regarded as something strange.
¹³ Though they offer sacrificial gifts
and eat the flesh,
the Lord does not accept them.
Now He will remember their guilt
and punish their sins;
they will return to Egypt.
¹⁴ Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
Judah has also multiplied fortified cities.
I will send fire on their cities,
and it will consume their citadels.
