Hosea 8:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹ “Israel has built many altars to take away sin,
    but these very altars became places for sinning!
¹² Even though I gave them all my laws,
    they act as if those laws don’t apply to them.
¹³ The people love to offer sacrifices to me,
    feasting on the meat,
    but I do not accept their sacrifices.
I will hold my people accountable for their sins,
    and I will punish them.
    They will return to Egypt.
