Hosea 8:3-5
New Century Version
Hosea 8:3-5
New Century Version
3 But Israel has rejected what is good,
so the enemy will chase them.
4 They chose their own kings
without asking my permission.
They chose their own leaders,
people I did not know.
They made their silver and gold into idols,
and for all this they will be destroyed.
5 I hate the calf-shaped idol of Israel!
I am very angry with the people.
How long will they remain unclean?

5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!(D)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?(E)
