⁴ They set kings in place,
    but not by me.
They established princes,
    whom I did not recognize.
They crafted idols for themselves from their silver and gold;
    as a result, they will be destroyed.
⁵ Your calf,^[a] Samaria, has been thrown away.
    My anger is burning against them.
        How long until they become pure again?
⁶ Because from Israel it was fashioned by craftsmen,
    it is not God;
        therefore Samaria’s calf will be broken in pieces.
