1When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, But through Baal he incurred guilt and died. 2And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves cast metal images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, 'Let the people who sacrifice kiss the calves!'King James Version
