Hosea 13:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 And now they sin more and more,
And make for themselves (A)molten images,
Idols [a](B)skillfully made from their silver,
All of them the (C)work of craftsmen.
They say of them, “Let the [b]men who sacrifice kiss the (D)calves!”
3 Therefore they will be like the (E)morning cloud
And like dew which [c]soon disappears,
Like (F)chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor
And like (G)smoke from a [d]chimney.
4 Yet I have been the (H)Lord your God
Since the land of Egypt;
And you were not to know (I)any god except Me,
For there is no savior (J)besides Me.

Hosea 13:2-4
New International Version
2 Now they sin more and more;
they make(A) idols for themselves from their silver,(B)
cleverly fashioned images,
all of them the work of craftsmen.(C)
It is said of these people,
“They offer human sacrifices!
They kiss[a](D) calf-idols!(E)”
3 Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears,(F)
like chaff(G) swirling from a threshing floor,(H)
like smoke(I) escaping through a window.
