Hosea 8:4-7 They have set up kings, but not by Me; they have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols with their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ They have set up kings, but not by Me; they have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols with their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off. ⁵ Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. Until when will they not attain purity? ⁶ For from Israel it came also. The craftsman made it, but it is not God. For the calf of Samaria shall be splinters. ⁷ For they sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind. It has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal; if it does yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
