The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
In its setting in Hosea 4 together with Hosea 6, the verse exposes those who trample upon God's law by making human laws and forcing the people to accept them. That forced acceptance involves devising and counseling and planning what to do to compel obedience to Sunday. The plea used is that the whole world keeps Sunday and that a people so few in number should follow the laws of the land.
The verse means that people are blinded by error and take their words from the lips of priests and human lawmakers. In that condition they suppose it does not matter if they do not keep the law of God, which was instituted in Eden when the foundations of the earth were laid. That law is God's memorial given to man that he might honor the living God who made the world in six days and sanctified and blessed the day of His rest.
