Hosea 8:4-8
Hosea 8:4
They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed officials, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, So that they will be eliminated.
Hosea 8:5
He has rejected your calf, Samaria, saying, “My anger burns against them!” How long will they be incapable of innocence?
Hosea 8:6
For from Israel comes even this! A craftsman made it, so it is not God; Assuredly, the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
Hosea 8:7
For they sow wind And they harvest a storm. The standing grain has no kernels; It yields no grain. If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it.
Hosea 8:8
Israel has been swallowed up; They are now among the nations Like a vessel in which no one delights.
