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!

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.(A)
5 Your calf is rejected, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?(B)
6 For it is from Israel,
an artisan made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samaria
shall be broken to pieces.(C)
