Hosea 8:4-6
New International Version
4 They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.(A)
With their silver and gold
they make idols(B) for themselves
to their own destruction.
5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!(C)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?(D)
6 They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
it is not God.(E)
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf(F) of Samaria.(G)
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.
