28:008:004 They have set up kings, but not by me:
they have made princes,
and
I knew it not: of their silver and their gold
have they
made
them idols, that they may be cut off.
28:008:005 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off;
mine anger is kindled
against
them: how long will it be ere they attain to
innocency?
28:008:006 For from Israel was it also: the workman
made it; therefore it
is
not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken
in pieces.
28:008:007 For they have sown the wind, and they shall
reap the
whirlwind:
it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal:
if
so
be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
28:008:008 Israel is swallowed up: now shall
they be among the Gentiles
as
a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
28:008:009 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild
ass alone by himself:
Ephraim
hath hired lovers.
28:008:010 Yea, though they have hired among the nations,
now will I
gather
them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden
of
the
king of princes.
28:008:011 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to
sin, altars shall be
unto
him to sin.
28:008:012 I have written to him the great things
of my law, but they
were
counted as a strange thing.
28:008:013 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices
of mine offerings, and
eat
it; but the lord accepteth them not; now will
he remember
their
iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return
to
Egypt.
28:008:014 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and
buildeth temples; and
Judah
hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send
a fire
upon
his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
28:009:001 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other
people: for thou hast
gone
a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon
every
cornfloor.
28:009:002 The floor and the winepress shall not feed
them, and the new
wine
shall fail in her.
28:009:003 They shall not dwell in the LORD’s
land; but Ephraim shall
return
to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
28:009:004 They shall not offer wine offerings to
the lord, neither shall
they
be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be
unto them
as
the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be
polluted:
for their bread for their soul shall not come into
the
house of the lord.
28:009:005 What will ye do in the solemn day, and
in the day of the feast
of
the lord?
