Douay Bible - Hosea Chapter 8

Hosea 8:1
Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have violated my law.

Hosea 8:2
They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.

Hosea 8:3
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.

Hosea 8:4
They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.

Hosea 8:5
Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed ?

Hosea 8:6
For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders’ webs.

Hosea 8:7
For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; end if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.

Hosea 8:8
Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.

Hosea 8:9
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.

Hosea 8:10
But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes.

Hosea 8:11
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.

Hosea 8:12
I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.

Hosea 8:13
They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

Hosea 8:14
And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
