3 Israel has rejected what is good;(A)
an enemy will pursue him.
4 They have installed kings,(B)
but not through Me.
They have appointed leaders,
but without My approval.
They make their silver and gold(C)
into idols for themselves
for their own destruction.[a]
5 Your calf-idol[b](D) is rejected, Samaria.(E)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?(F)

Hosea 8:3-5
King James Version
3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
