Hosea 8:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ “The more altars that the people of Ephraim build
to make offerings to pay for their sins,
the more places they have for sinning.
¹² I have written many things for them in my teachings,
but they consider these things strange and foreign.
¹³ They offer sacrifices to me and eat the meat of sacrifices,
but I, the Lord, do not accept these sacrifices.
Now I will remember their wickedness
and punish them because of their sins.
They will go back to Egypt.
