Hosea 8:1-3

Context
God Will Raise Up the Assyrians to Attack Israel

8:1 Sound the alarm! 1 

An eagle 2  looms over the temple of the Lord!

For they have broken their covenant with me, 3 

and have rebelled against my law.

8:2 Israel cries out to me,

“My God, we acknowledge you!”

8:3 But Israel has rejected what is morally good;

so an enemy will pursue him.

1 tn Heb “A horn unto your gums!”; NAB “A trumpet to your lips!”

2 tn Or perhaps “A vulture.” Some identify the species indicated by the Hebrew term נֶשֶׁר (nesher) as the griffon vulture (cf. NEB, NRSV).

3 tn Heb “my covenant” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “the covenant I made with them.”
