Hosea 8:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Because E′phraim has multiplied altars for sinning,
    they have become to him altars for sinning.
¹² Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands,
    they would be regarded as a strange thing.
¹³ They love sacrifice;^[a]
    they sacrifice flesh and eat it;
    but the Lord has no delight in them.
Now he will remember their iniquity,
    and punish their sins;
    they shall return to Egypt.
