Hosea 8:1-5 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. Set the trumpet to your mouth. He shall come as an eagle over the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

2. Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know you.

3. Israel has cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

4. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

5. Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be before they attain to innocence?
