Hosea 8:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵Your calf-idol^[a]^(A) is rejected, Samaria.^(B)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?^(C)
⁶For this thing is from Israel—
a craftsman made it,^(D) and it is not God.
The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!

⁷Indeed, they sow the wind^(E)
and reap the whirlwind.^(F)
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.^(G)
Even if they did,
foreigners would swallow it up.

It will be broken in pieces,
    that calf^(D) of Samaria.^(E)

⁷“They sow the wind
    and reap the whirlwind.^(F)
