28:008:003 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. 28:008:004 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. 28:008:005 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 28:008:006 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 28:008:007 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. 28:008:008 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. 28:008:009 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. 28:008:010 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. 28:008:011 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. 28:008:012 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 28:008:013 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. 28:008:014 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. 28:009:001 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor. 28:009:002 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 28:009:003 They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. 28:009:004 They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD. 28:009:005 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD? 28:009:006 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
