Hosea 8:2-4
GOD’S WORD Translation

2 They cry out to me, ‘We acknowledge you as our God.’
3 However, they have rejected what is good.
The enemy will persecute them.

4 “They chose their own kings, kings I didn’t approve.
They chose their own princes, princes I didn’t know.
They chose to make idols with their own silver and gold.
Because of this, they will be destroyed.
