Hosea 8:6-8
International Children’s Bible

6 The idol is something a craftsman made.
    It is not God.
Israel’s calf-shaped idol
    will surely be smashed to pieces.

7 “Israel’s foolish plans are like planting the wind.
    But they will harvest a whirlwind.
Her plans are like a stalk with no head of grain.
    It produces nothing.
Even if it produces something,
    other nations would eat it.
8 Israel is destroyed.
    The people are mixed among the other nations.
    They have become useless to me.

Hosea 8:6-8
New International Version

6     They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
    it is not God.(A)
It will be broken in pieces,
    that calf(B) of Samaria.(C)

7 “They sow the wind
    and reap the whirlwind.(D)
The stalk has no head;
    it will produce no flour.(E)
Were it to yield grain,
    foreigners would swallow it up.(F)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(G)
    now she is among the nations
    like something no one wants.(H)
