Hosea 8:3 in context

Hosea 8:1–6

1

“Put the trumpet to your lips!

Something like an eagle is over the LORD’s house,

because they have broken my covenant

and rebelled against my law.

2

They cry to me, ‘My God, we, Israel, acknowledge you!’

3
Selected verse

Israel has cast off that which is good.

The enemy will pursue him.

4

They have set up kings, but not by me.

They have made princes, and I didn’t approve.

Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols,

that they may be cut off.

5

Let Samaria throw out his calf idol!

My anger burns against them!

How long will it be until they are capable of purity?

6

For this is even from Israel!

The workman made it, and it is no God;

indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
