Hosea 13:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding: they were all the work of the craftsmen: they say one to another while they sacrifice a [a]man, Let them kiss the calves.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the morning dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke that goeth out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God [b]from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no Savior beside me.
