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.
Hosea 8:4-6
Common English Bible
4 They set up kings, but not through me;
they chose princes, but without my knowledge.
With silver and gold they crafted idols
for their own destruction.
5 Your calf is rejected, Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
How long will they remain guilty?
6 The calf is from Israel,
a person made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samaria will be smashed.
