Hosea 8:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ But Israel has rejected what is good.
    So the enemy chases them.
⁴ They chose their own kings
    without asking my permission.
They chose their own leaders,
    men I did not know.
They made their silver and gold into idols.
    For all this they will be destroyed.
⁵ I hate that calf-shaped idol.
    I am very angry with the people.
How long will they remain unclean?
