Hosea 8:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵I have^[a] spurned your calf, O Samar′ia.
My anger burns against them.
How long will it be
till they are pure ⁶in Israel?^[b]

A workman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samar′ia
shall be broken to pieces.^[c]

⁷For they sow the wind,
    and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads,
    it shall yield no meal;
if it were to yield,
    aliens would devour it.
