Hosea 8:5 Context
3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him. 4They haue set vp Kings, but not by me: they haue made Princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their golde haue they made them idoles, that they may be cut off. 5¶ Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it bee ere they attaine to innocencie? 6For from Israel was it also, the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7For they haue sowen the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewinde: it hath no stalke: the budde shall yeeld no meale: if so be it yeeld, the strangers shall swallow it vp.
