Hosea 8:4-6
New King James Version
4 “They(A) set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.
5 Your [a]calf [b]is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
(B)How long until they attain to innocence?
6 For from Israel is even this:
A (C)workman made it, and it is not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.

Hosea 8:4-6
21st Century King James Version
4 They have set up kings, but not by Me; they have made princes, and I knew it not. Of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5 “Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; Mine anger is kindled against them. How long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it, therefore it is not God; but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

Hosea 8:4-6
New International Version
4 They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.(A)
With their silver and gold
they make idols(B) for themselves
to their own destruction.
5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!(C)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?(D)
6 They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
it is not God.(E)
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf(F) of Samaria.(G)
