Hosea 13:2

Further Indictment Of Jacob's Heirs

¹ When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
He exalted himself in Israel,
But through Baal he did wrong and died.
² And now they sin more and more,
And make for themselves molten images,
Idols skillfully made from their silver,
All of them the work of craftsmen.
They say of them, “Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!”
³ Therefore they will be like the morning cloud
And like dew which soon disappears,
Like chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.
