Hosea 13:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² Now you continue to sin
    by designing and making
idols of silver
    in the shape of calves.
You are told to sacrifice
to these idols^[a]—
    yes, even to kiss them.
³ And so, all of you will vanish
like the mist or the dew
    of early morning,
or husks of grain in the wind
    or smoke from a chimney.
