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.
