Hosea 8:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² They cry out to me,
    “My God! We, Israel, know you!”
³ Israel has spurned the good;
    the enemy will pursue him.
⁴ They appointed kings, but not through me;
    they made officials, but without my knowledge.
With their silver and gold
    they made idols for themselves
        for their^[a] own destruction.^[b]
