What does Hosea 8:13 mean?

They offer sacrifices and eat the meat, but I don't accept them. Now I'll remember their wrongdoing and punish them for their sins. They'll go back to Egypt. Hosea 8:13 - Modern Text Bible

(Their religious rituals are empty to God. Judgment is coming, and 'Egypt' here means a return to slavery and hardship.)
