Contemporary English Version
Hosea 8:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 City of Samaria, I'm angry
because of your idol
in the shape of a calf.
When will you ever
be innocent again?
6 Someone from Israel built
that idol for you,
but only I am God.
And so it will be smashed
to pieces.[a]
7 If you scatter wind
instead of wheat,
you will harvest a whirlwind
and have no wheat.
Even if you harvest grain,
enemies will steal it all.
Footnotes
- 8.6 smashed to pieces: Or “destroyed by fire.”
