Hosea 8:12

Israel Rejects The Good

¹¹ Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin,
They have become altars of sinning for him.
¹² Though I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My law,
They are regarded as a strange thing.
¹³ As for My sacrificial gifts,
They sacrifice the flesh and eat it,
But the Lord has taken no delight in them.
Now He will remember their iniquity,
And punish them for their sins;
They will return to Egypt.
