New King James Version

Hosea 8:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. “Set the trumpet to your mouth!He shall come like an eagle against the house of the Lord,Because they have transgressed My covenantAnd rebelled against My law.

2. Israel will cry to Me,‘My God, we know You!’

3. Israel has rejected the good;The enemy will pursue him.

4. “They set up kings, but not by Me;They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.From their silver and goldThey made idols for themselves—That they might be cut off.

5. Your calf is rejected, O Samaria!My anger is aroused against them—How long until they attain to innocence?
