Hosea 8:12

Israel Rejects The Good

¹¹ Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning. ¹² Though I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My law,
They are regarded as a strange thing.
¹³ As for my sacrificial offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
