Hosea 8:4-6

4My people chose kings to rule them, but they did not ask me about it. They chose people to lead them, but I did not agree. They used their silver and their gold to make idols for themselves. But that will destroy them in the end.

5People of Samaria, you have made an image of a calf as your idol. But I hate that idol! I am very angry with the Israelites. How much longer will it be before I have to punish them?

6That idol is not a true god! An Israelite worker with special skills made it. Samaria's idol of a calf will break into pieces!
