Hosea 8:1
"Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law."

Reflection

What stead will it stand in to say, My God, | know thee, if we cannot say, My God, | love thee, serve thee, and cleave to thee only?/
