Hosea 8:2-4
The Voice

2     Still Israel calls out to Me, “Our God, we know you!”
        But even with your words of worship, you abandon our agreement.
3     Israel has rejected what is good; that is why an enemy will pursue him.

4     They’ve overstepped their rights by changing leadership, but not by My authority;
        they’ve anointed kings and appointed princes without consulting Me.
    They’ve made idols out of their silver and gold,
        so Israel will be destroyed.

2 Israel cries out to me,
    ‘Our God, we acknowledge you!’
3 But Israel has rejected what is good;
    an enemy will pursue him.(A)
4 They set up kings without my consent;
    they choose princes without my approval.(B)
With their silver and gold
    they make idols(C) for themselves
    to their own destruction.
