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.
