Hosea 8:11 Context
9For they are gone vp to Assyria, a wilde Asse alone by himselfe; Ephraim hath hired louers. 10Yea, though they haue hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the King of princes. 11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, altars shall be vnto him to sinne. 12I haue written to him the great things of my Law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 13They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it; but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shal returne to Egypt.
