Hosea 8:2-5
Hosea 8:2-5 NCV
They cry out to me, ‘Our God, we in Israel know you!’ But Israel has rejected what is good, so the enemy will chase them. They chose their own kings without asking my permission. They chose their own leaders, people I did not know. They made their silver and gold into idols, and for all this they will be destroyed. I hate the calf-shaped idol of Israel! I am very angry with the people. How long will they remain unclean?
