Hosea 8:2-4
New International Version

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.
