Hosea 8 is the eighth chapter of the Book of Hosea in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] [2] In the Hebrew Bible it is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. [3] [4] This chapter contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Hosea, son of Beeri, about the impending destruction of Israel and Judah [a] for their impiety and idolatry. [5]
The original text was written in Hebrew. Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008). [6] Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, including 4Q82 (4QXIIg; 25 BCE) with extant verse 1. [7] [8] [9] [10]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century). [11] [b]
This chapter is divided into 14 verses.
The editors of the New American Bible Revised Edition suggest that the eagle mentioned in this verse may refer to Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria, who overran the land of Israel in 733 B.C. [14] Thomas Kelly Cheyne reads "great emotion" in the short clauses of this verse. [15]
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind" is considered a proverb which states that works have rewards and actions have consequences, especially that people may face negative consequences for their bad actions. [17] Several works of fiction have the title " Reap the Whirlwind".
