Hosea 8:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Put a trumpet to your lips!It’s as if a bird of prey has flown over the Lord’s house,because they have broken my covenant,and have not kept my Instruction.

2. Israel cries to me,"My God, we know you!"

3. Israel has turned away from the good;the enemy will pursue him.

4. They set up kings, but not through me;they chose princes, but without my knowledge.With silver and gold they crafted idolsfor their own destruction.

5. Your calf is rejected, Samaria.My anger burns against them.How long will they remain guilty?
