Hosea 8:9-14

9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10 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.
11 "Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12 I have written to him the great things of My law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 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.
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof."
