Hosea 8:4-6

New Catholic Bible

^4 [a]They anointed kings, but not by my authority;
    they appointed princes, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold they made idols for themselves,
    idols for their own destruction.
⁵ I reject your calf-idol, O Samaria!
    My anger burns against them.
How long will it be
    before they regain their innocence?
⁶ The calf was made in Israel;
    it is no god at all,
    for it was fashioned by a craftsman.
The calf of Samaria
    will be broken to pieces.
