Hosea 8:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.

¹⁰ But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes.

¹¹ Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.
