Hosea 13:1-2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

13 When E′phraim spoke, men trembled;
he was exalted in Israel;
    but he incurred guilt through Ba′al and died.
² And now they sin more and more,
    and make for themselves molten images,
idols skilfully made of their silver,
    all of them the work of craftsmen.
Sacrifice to these, they say.^[a]
    Men kiss calves!
