Hosea 8:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ I reject^[a] your calf idol, Samaria!
    My anger burns against these people!
    How long will they be incapable of innocence?
⁶ That thing sitting there is from Israel!
    A craftsman made it, so it is not God.
    Certainly that calf of Samaria will be smashed to pieces!
⁷ Because they sow the wind,
    they will reap the whirlwind.
    The standing grain forms no heads,
    so it will yield no flour.
    Even if it would yield flour, foreigners would swallow it up.
