Hosea 13:1-2

New Century Version

13 People used to fear the tribe of Ephraim;
    they were important people in Israel.
But they sinned by worshiping Baal,
    so they must die.
² But they still keep on sinning more and more.
    They make idols of their silver,
idols that are cleverly made,
    the work of a craftsman.
Yet the people of Israel say to each other,
    “Kiss those calf idols and sacrifice to them.”
