Hosea 8:12

Israel Rejects The Good

¹¹ Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning. ¹² I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing. ¹³ As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
