Hosea 8:1-4

1“Sound the alarm! The enemy descends like an eagle on the people of the Lord, for they have broken my covenant and revolted against my law.

2Now Israel pleads with me, ‘Help us, for you are our God!’

3But it is too late. The people of Israel have rejected what is good, and now their enemies will chase after them.

4The people have appointed kings without my consent, and princes without my approval. By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold, they have brought about their own destruction.
