Hosea 8:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 [a]When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin,
they became altars for sinning.
12 Though I write for him my many instructions,
they are considered like a stranger’s.
13 They love sacrifice,
they sacrifice meat and eat it,
but the Lord is not pleased with them.(A)
Now he will remember their guilt
and punish their sins;(B)
they shall return to Egypt.[b](C)
