Hosea 8:4

Israel Rejects The Good

³ Israel has rejected the good;
The enemy will pursue him.
⁴ They have set up kings, but not by Me;
They have appointed princes, but I did not know it.
With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves,
That they might be cut off.
⁵ He has rejected your calf, O Samaria, saying,
“My anger burns against them!”
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
