Hosea 8:4-6
Evangelical Heritage Version
4 They set up kings, but not with my approval.
They installed officials, but I did not choose[a] them.
From their silver and their gold they made idols for themselves,
so they will be cut off.
5 I reject[b] your calf idol, Samaria!
My anger burns against these people!
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 That thing sitting there is from Israel!
A craftsman made it, so it is not God.
Certainly that calf of Samaria will be smashed to pieces!
Hosea 8:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 They appointed kings, but not through me;
they made officials, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold
they made idols for themselves
for their[a] own destruction.[b]
5 Your calf is rejected,[c] O Samaria;
my anger burns against them.
How long[d] will they be incapable of innocence?
6 Because it is from Israel,
an artisan made it,
it is not a god;
for the calf of Samaria
will be broken to pieces.
