Hosea 13:1-3

English Standard Version

13 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
    ^(A)he was exalted in Israel,
    but he incurred guilt ^(B)through Baal and died.
² And now they sin more and more,
    and ^(C)make for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
    ^(D)all of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
    “Those who offer human sacrifice ^(E)kiss calves!”
³ Therefore they shall be ^(F)like the morning mist
    or ^(G)like the dew that goes early away,
^(H)like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor
    or ^(I)like smoke from a window.
