Hosea 8:13-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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.[a](C)
14 Israel has forgotten his maker(D)
and has built palaces.
Judah, too, has fortified many cities,
but I will send fire upon his cities,
to devour their strongholds.(E)
