Hosea 8:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
2They cry out to Me, 'My God, we of Israel know You!' 3Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him. 4They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed officials, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, So that they will be eliminated. 5 He has rejected your calf, Samaria, saying, 'My anger burns against them!' How long will they be incapable of innocence?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
3Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.
4They have installed kings, but not through me. They have appointed leaders, but without my approval. They make their silver and gold into idols for themselves for their own destruction.
5Your calf-idol is rejected, Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
New Living Translation

By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold, they have brought about their own destruction.English Standard Version

How long will they be incapable of innocence?New International Version
