Hosea 8:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 8:1

The Apostasy of Israel

1 “Set the¹ trumpet to your mouth!
He shall come ^alike an eagle against the house of the Lord,
Because they have transgressed My covenant
And rebelled against My law.

2 ^aIsrael will cry to Me,
‘My God, ^bwe know You!’

3 Israel has rejected the good;
The enemy will pursue him.

4 “They^a set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.

5 Your¹ calf is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
^aHow long until they attain to innocence?
