OLD TESTAMENT · VERSE 13

As for the sacrifices of my offerings,

they sacrifice meat and eat it,

but the LORD doesn’t accept them.

Now he will remember their iniquity,

and punish their sins.

They will return to Egypt.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Hosea 8:13 in context

Hosea 8:10–14

But although they sold themselves among the nations,

I will now gather them;

and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.

Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning,

they became for him altars for sinning.

I wrote for him the many things of my law,

but they were regarded as a strange thing.

Selected verse

As for the sacrifices of my offerings,

they sacrifice meat and eat it,

but the LORD doesn’t accept them.

Now he will remember their iniquity,

and punish their sins.

They will return to Egypt.

For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;

and Judah has multiplied fortified cities;

but I will send a fire on his cities,

and it will devour its fortresses.”
