Hosea 8:5-1964 ·Bible in Basic English

“I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean? The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits. For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it. Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure. For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers. But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers. Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him. Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing. He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt. For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.”
