Hosea 13:1-4

1When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal and died.

2Now they continue to sin and make themselves a cast image, idols skillfully made from their silver, all of them the work of craftsmen. People say about them, “Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.”

3Therefore, they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes, like chaff blown from a threshing floor, or like smoke from a window.

4I have been the Lord your God ever since the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and no Savior exists besides me.
