Read in context

Hosea 8:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Put the ram’s horn to your lips! An eagle looms over the house of the LORD, because the people have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.

2 Israel cries out to Me, “O our God, we know You!”

3 But Israel has rejected good; an enemy will pursue him.

4 They set up kings, but not by Me. They make princes, but without My approval. With their silver and gold they make themselves idols, to their own destruction.

5 He has rejected your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
