Hosea 8:3

Israel Rejects The Good

² They shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee; we, Israel. ³ Israel hath cast off good: the enemy shall pursue him. ⁴ They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
