Hosea 8:4-6
English Standard Version
4 (A)They made kings, (B)but not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5 (C)I have[a] spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
(D)How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
(E)The calf of Samaria
(F)shall be broken to pieces.[b]
Hosea 8:4-6
International Standard Version
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.
