Hosea 8:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ Israel has spurned the good;
    the enemy will pursue him.
⁴ They appointed kings, but not through me;
    they made officials, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold
    they made idols for themselves
        for their^[a] own destruction.^[b]
5 Your calf is rejected,^[c] O Samaria;
    my anger burns against them.
How long^[d] will they be incapable of innocence?
