Hosea 13:1-2

International Children’s Bible

13 People used to fear the tribe of Ephraim.
    They were important people in Israel.
But they sinned by worshiping Baal.
    So they must die.
² But they keep on sinning more and more.
    They make idols of their silver.
Those idols are cleverly made.
    They are the work of a craftsman.
Yet the people of Israel say to each other,
    “Kiss those calf idols and sacrifice to them.”
