|
| 8:3 |
Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
|
| 8:4 |

| 8:5 |
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; my anger is kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocence?

|
| 8:14 |
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
