Hosea 13:1-3
Hosea 13:1
When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, But through Baal he incurred guilt and died.
Hosea 13:2
And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves cast metal images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, “Let the people who sacrifice kiss the calves!”
Hosea 13:3
Therefore they will be like the morning cloud And like dew which soon disappears, Like chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor, And like smoke from a chimney.
