Berean Standard Bible

“Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.”

Hosea 8:1

Save as image

Study note

Hosea 8 begins with an alarm: the trumpet is sounded because an enemy like an eagle is over the house of the Lord. The chapter condemns Israel's kings, who were chosen without God's approval, and its idols, including the calf of Samaria, made with human hands.
