Hosea 8:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² They yell out at me, ‘My God, we in Israel know you!’ ³ But Israel refused the good things, so the enemy chases him. ⁴ The Israelites chose their kings, but they didn’t come to me for advice. They chose leaders, but they didn’t choose men I knew. The Israelites used their silver and gold to make idols for themselves, so they will be destroyed.
