Hosea 8:12-14

New Century Version

¹² I have written many teachings for them,
    but they think the teachings are strange and foreign.
¹³ The Israelites offer sacrifices to me as gifts
    and eat the meat,
but the Lord is not pleased with them.
    He remembers the evil they have done,
and he will punish them for their sins.
    They will be slaves again as they were in Egypt.
¹⁴ Israel has forgotten their Maker and has built palaces;
    Judah has built many strong, walled cities.
But I will send fire on their cities
    and destroy their strong buildings.”
