Hosea 8:3 in Context — Hosea 8

1 [Põe] a trombeta em tua boca. [O inimigo vem] como uma águia contra a casa do SENHOR, porque violaram meu pacto, e transgrediram minha lei.

2 [Então] clamarão a mim: Deus meu, nós, Israel, te conhecemos.

3 Israel rejeitou o bem; o inimigo o perseguirá.

4 Eles fizeram reis, mas não de mim; constituíram príncipes, porém sem que eu soubesse; de sua prata e de seu ouro fizeram ídolos para si, para que sejam exterminados.

5 O teu bezerro foi rejeitado, ó Samaria; minha ira está acesa contra eles; até quando não suportarão a pureza?
