Hosea 8:4-6
Revised Standard Version
Hosea 8:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 They made kings, but not through me.
They set up princes, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5 I have[a] spurned your calf, O Samar′ia.
My anger burns against them.
How long will it be
till they are pure 6 in Israel?[b]
A workman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samar′ia
shall be broken to pieces.[c]
