Hosea 8:11-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. "Ephraim built many altars where they sacrificed sin offerings to other gods. So their altars have become places where they commit sin.

12. I wrote down many things in my law for their good. But they considered my laws as something strange.

13. They offer sacrifices to me. They eat the meat of the animals they bring. But I am not pleased with any of that. I will remember the evil things they have done. I will punish them for their sins. And they will return to Egypt.
