Chapter 8

8:1 [hgb]  你 用 口 吹 角 吧 。 敌 人 如 鹰 来 攻 打 耶 和 华 的 家 ， 因 为 这 民 违 背 我 的 约 ， 干 犯 我 的 律 法 。 
    [kjv]  Set the trumpet¹ to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed² my covenant³, and trespassed⁴ against my law.
    [bbe]  Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.
8:2 [hgb]  他 们 必 呼 叫 我 说 ， 我 的 神 阿 ， 我 们 以 色 列 认 识 你 了 。 
    [kjv]  Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
    [bbe]  They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.
8:3 [hgb]  以 色 列 丢 弃 良 善 （ 或 作 福 分 ） ， 仇 敌 必 追 逼 他 。 
    [kjv]  Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
    [bbe]  Israel has given up what is good; his haters will go after him.
8:4 [hgb]  他 们 立 君 王 ， 却 不 由 我 ， 他 们 立 首 领 ， 我 却 不 认 。 他 们 用 金 银 为 自 己 制 造 偶 像 ， 以 致 被 剪 除 。 
    [kjv]  They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols⁶, that they may be cut off.
    [bbe]  They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.
8:5 [hgb]  撒 玛 利 亚 阿 ， 耶 和 华 已 经 丢 弃 你 的 牛 犊 。 我 的 怒 气 向 拜 牛 犊 的 人 发 作 。 他 们 到 几 时 方 能 无 罪 呢 ？ 
    [kjv]  Thy calf⁷, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled⁸ against them: how long will it be ere they attain⁹ to innocency¹⁰?
    [bbe]  I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath¹¹ is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
8:6 [hgb]  这 牛 犊 出 于 以 色 列 ， 是 匠 人 所 造 的 ， 并 不 是 神 。 撒 玛 利 亚 的 牛 犊 必 被 打 碎 。 
    [kjv]  For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
    [bbe]  The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.
8:7 [hgb]  他 们 所 种 的 是 风 ， 所 收 的 是 暴 风 ， 所 种 的 不 成 禾 稼 ， 就 是 发 苗 也 不 结 实 。 即 便 结 实 ， 外 邦 人 必 吞 吃 。 
    [kjv]  For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
    [bbe]  For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.
8:8 [hgb]  以 色 列 被 吞 吃 ， 现 今 在 列 国 中 ， 好 像 人 不 喜 悦 的 器 皿 。 
    [kjv]  Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel¹² wherein is no pleasure.
    [bbe]  Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.
8:9 [hgb]  他 们 投 奔 亚 述 ， 如 同 独 行 的 野 驴 。 以 法 莲 贿 买 朋 党 。 
    [kjv]  For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass⁵ alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
    [bbe]  For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.
8:10 [hgb]  他 们 虽 在 列 邦 中 贿 买 人 ， 现 在 我 却 要 聚 集 惩 罚 他 们 。 他 们 因 君 王 和 首 领 所 加 的 重 担 ， 日 渐 衰 微 。 
    [kjv]  Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
    [bbe]  But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.
8:11 [hgb]  以 法 莲 增 添 祭 坛 取 罪 ， 因 此 ， 祭 坛 使 他 犯 罪 。 
    [kjv]  Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
    [bbe]  Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.
8:12 [hgb]  我 为 他 写 了 律 法 万 条 ， 他 却 以 为 与 他 毫 无 关 涉 。 
    [kjv]  I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
    [bbe]  Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.
8:13 [hgb]  至 于 献 给 我 的 祭 物 ， 他 们 自 食 其 肉 ， 耶 和 华 却 不 悦 纳 他 们 。 现 在 必 记 念 他 们 的 罪 孽 ， 追 讨 他 们 的 罪 恶 ， 他 们 必 归 回 埃 及 。 
    [kjv]  They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity¹³, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
    [bbe]  He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.
8:14 [hgb]  以 色 列 忘 记 造 他 的 主 ， 建 造 宫 殿 。 犹 大 多 造 坚 固 城 ， 我 却 要 降 火 焚 烧 他 的 城 邑 ， 烧 灭 其 中 的 宫 殿 。 
    [kjv]  For Israel hath forgotten his Maker¹⁴, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour¹⁵ the palaces thereof.
    [bbe]  For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.
