Hosea 8:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 They made kings but not through me;
they set up princes but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.(A)
5 Your calf is rejected, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?(B)
6 For it is from Israel,
an artisan made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samaria
shall be broken to pieces.(C)
Hosea 8:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 They made kings, but not through me.
They set up princes, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5 I have[a] spurned your calf, O Samar′ia.
My anger burns against them.
How long will it be
till they are pure 6 in Israel?[b]
A workman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samar′ia
shall be broken to pieces.[c]
