     Explanation: In Hosea 8 the LORD said that the false gods of Israel would fail them "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind" (v. 7). This chapter ties in closely with the first part of the next chapter. In the words of the Keil & Delitzsch Commentary, "The coming judgment, viz., the destruction of the kingdom of the ten tribes [principally by the Assyrians], is predicted in three strophes, containing a fresh enumeration of the sins of Israel (Hosea 8:1-7), a reference to the fall of the kingdom, which is already about to commence (Hosea 8:8-14), and a warning against false security (Hosea 9:1-9)." [Sermons: Emilio Ramos. Tom Swanston.

¹ Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. ² Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. ³ Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. ⁴ They have set up kings [they, they have set up kings or they themselves have set up kings], but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. ⁵ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? ⁶ For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. ⁷ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no [nothing of] stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. ⁸ Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no [nothing of] pleasure. ⁹ For they are gone up [they, they are gone up or they themselves 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 [they, they shall return or they themselves shall return] to Egypt. ¹⁴ For Israel hath forgotten [this] his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
