Hosea 8:4-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 [a]They made kings, but not by my authority;
they established princes, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold
they made idols for themselves,
to their own destruction.
5 He has rejected your calf,[b] Samaria!(A)
My wrath is kindled against them;
How long will they be incapable of innocence
in Israel?
6 An artisan made it,
it is no god at all.(B)
The calf of Samaria
will be dashed to pieces.
7 When they sow the wind,
they will reap the whirlwind;(C)
The stalk of grain that forms no head
can yield no flour;
Even if it could,
strangers would swallow it.

- 8:5 Calf: a cultic object introduced by Jeroboam I after the separation of the Northern Kingdom from the Southern Kingdom (1 Kgs 12:26–30; cf. Ex 32).

Hosea 8:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 [a]When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin,
they became altars for sinning.
12 Though I write for him my many instructions,
they are considered like a stranger’s.
13 They love sacrifice,
they sacrifice meat and eat it,
but the Lord is not pleased with them.(A)
Now he will remember their guilt
and punish their sins;(B)
they shall return to Egypt.[b](C)

but they regarded them as something foreign.(B)

and though they eat(C) the meat,
the Lord is not pleased with them.(D)
Now he will remember(E) their wickedness
and punish their sins:(F)
