Hosea 8:1

Context
God Will Raise Up the Assyrians to Attack Israel

8:1 Sound the alarm! 1 

An eagle 2  looms over the temple of the Lord!

For they have broken their covenant with me, 3 

and have rebelled against my law.

Hosea 4:13-14

Context

4:13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops,

and burn offerings on the hills;

they sacrifice 4  under oak, poplar, and terebinth,

because their shade is so pleasant.

As a result, your daughters have become cult prostitutes,

and your daughters-in-law commit adultery!

4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution,

nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery.

For the men consort with harlots,

they sacrifice with temple prostitutes.

It is true: 5  “A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!”

[8:1]  3 tn Heb “my covenant” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “the covenant I made with them.”

[4:13]  4 tn The phrase “they sacrifice” is not repeated in the Hebrew text here but is implied by parallelism; it is provided in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[4:14]  7 tn The words “it is true” are supplied in the translation to indicate that this is a conclusion drawn on the preceding behavior. Cf. NAB “So must a people”; NRSV “thus a people”; TEV “As the proverb says, ‘A people.’”
