Hosea 8:5-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 Get rid of your calf-shaped idol, Samaria.
My anger burns against these people.
How long will they remain unclean? [a]
6 Samaria’s calf-shaped idol was made in Israel.
Skilled workers made it.
It is not a god.
It will be smashed to pieces.
7 “The people of Israel plant the wind, but they harvest a storm.
A field of grain that doesn’t ripen will never produce any grain.
Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would eat it all.
