Hosea 8:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ They set up kings, but not with my approval.
    They installed officials, but I did not choose^[a] them.
    From their silver and their gold they made idols for themselves,
    so they will be cut off.
⁵ I reject^[b] your calf idol, Samaria!
    My anger burns against these people!
    How long will they be incapable of innocence?
⁶ That thing sitting there is from Israel!
    A craftsman made it, so it is not God.
    Certainly that calf of Samaria will be smashed to pieces!
