Hosea 13:2-4

New American Standard Bible

² And now they sin more and more,
And make for themselves ^(A)cast metal images,
Idols ^[a](B)skillfully made from their silver,
All of them the ^(C)work of craftsmen.
They say of them, “Let the ^[b]people who sacrifice kiss the ^(D)calves!”
³ Therefore they will be like the ^(E)morning cloud
And like dew which ^[c]soon disappears,
Like ^(F)chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor,
And like ^(G)smoke from a chimney.
