Hosea 8:5

Israel Rejects The Good

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?
⁶ For from Israel is even this!
A craftsman made it, so it is not God;
Surely the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.

Over its glory, since it has departed from it.
