Hosea 8:5-7
International Standard Version

5 Your calf,[a] Samaria, has been thrown away.
    My anger is burning against them.
        How long until they become pure again?
6 Because from Israel it was fashioned by craftsmen,
    it is not God;
        therefore Samaria’s calf will be broken in pieces.

7 “Because they sow the wind,
    they will reap the wind storm.
The plant has no stalk
    and its bud yields no grain.
Even if there’s a harvest,
    foreigners will gobble it up.
