Hosea 8:6

Israel Rejects The Good

⁵ Get rid of your calf-shaped idol, Samaria. My anger burns against these people! How long will they remain unclean? 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.
⁷ The people of Israel plant the wind, but they harvest a storm. A field of grain that does not ripen will never produce any grain. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would eat it all.
