The word that Israel is swallowed up, and “They will return to Egypt”
이스라엘은 이미 삼키웠고 저희가 애굽으로 다시 가리라는 말씀
Hosea 8:8–14: the text says, “Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing. For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself. But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones. Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning. I wrote for him the many things of my law, but they were regarded as a strange thing. As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt. For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.” These verses carry no formula saying that the LORD speaks, and both editions speak of the LORD in the third person at 8:13 (“the LORD doesn’t accept them”). WEB sets a closing quotation mark at the end of 8:14 and no opening mark in these verses. The Korean Revised Version reads at 8:10 저희가 열방 사람에게 값을 주었을찌라도, though they have given hire among the nations, where WEB reads “although they sold themselves among the nations”, and 모든 방백의 임금의 지워준 짐을 인하여, because of the burden laid on them by the king of all the princes, where WEB reads “because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones”.
