Hosea 8:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 They have installed kings,(A)
but not through me.
They have appointed leaders,
but without my approval.
They make their silver and gold(B)
into idols for themselves
for their own destruction.[a]
5 Your calf-idol[b](C) is rejected, Samaria.(D)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?(E)
6 For this thing is from Israel—
a craftsman made it,(F) and it is not God.
The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!
Hosea 8:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)They have set up kings, but not by Me;
They have appointed officials, but I did not know it.
With their (B)silver and gold they have made idols for themselves,
So that [a]they will be eliminated.
5 [b]He has rejected your (C)calf, Samaria, saying,
“My anger burns against them!”
How long will they be incapable of (D)innocence?
6 For from Israel comes even this!
A (E)craftsman made it, so it is not God;
Assuredly, the calf of Samaria will be broken to [c]pieces.
