Hosea 8:2

Israel Rejects The Good

¹ Put the trumpet to your lips!
Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of the Lord,
Because they have transgressed My covenant
And rebelled against My law.
² They cry out to Me,
“My God, we of Israel know You!”
³ Israel has rejected the good;
The enemy will pursue him.
