Hosea 8:5-10

5Samaria! Your calf is thrown down! My anger is kindled against them! How long will they be incapable of innocence?

6For a craftsman from Israel made it, so it is no god. For the calf of Samaria will be splinters.

7“For they sow wind, and reap a whirlwind. There is no mature grain— the sprout yields no meal. Should it produce anything, strangers would swallow it up.

8Israel has been swallowed up! Now they are among the nations, like an ornament with no delight in it.

9For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey alone by itself. Ephraim has hired lovers.

10Although they hire among the nations, I will now round them up. So they will begin to decrease under the burden of king and princes.
