Hosea 8:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ I reject your calf-idol, O Samaria!
    My anger burns against them.
How long will it be
    before they regain their innocence?
⁶ The calf was made in Israel;
    it is no god at all,
    for it was fashioned by a craftsman.
The calf of Samaria
    will be broken to pieces.
⁷ When Israel sows the wind,
    it will reap the whirlwind.
When the standing grain has no heads,
    it will yield no flour.
And if it were to yield flour,
    foreigners would devour it.
