Hosea 13:1-3

The Voice

13 When Ephraim spoke, people trembled
    because he was powerful in Israel.
But he was guilty of worshiping another divine master^[a]
    and was sentenced to death.

² Even now they keep on sinning; they cast metal idols for themselves,
    shaping silver to fashion wretched images.
These idols are all skillfully crafted by humans.
    People say, “Offer your human sacrifices to them, and kiss these calf-idols.”
³ God will destroy them for this, and they’ll be like fog in the morning,
    like dew evaporating at sunrise, like the chaff blown from the threshing floor,
Like the smoke that drifts out of a window.
