Hosea 13:1-2

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!”
