Hosea 13:1-6
Hosea 13:1-6 TPT
When Ephraim used to speak, his words commanded great respect. He once had great authority in Israel, but he became guilty of Baal worship and signed his own death warrant. And now they sin more and more by making silver idols for themselves, cleverly crafted idols of their own invention— each skillfully made by human hands. “Sacrifice to them,” they say. Why would men kiss idols of calves? Therefore, the entire tribe of Ephraim will vanish like the morning mist, like the dew that quickly disappears, like the chaff blown by the wind from the threshing floor, like smoke rising from a chimney. YAHWEH “I, YAHWEH, have been your true God ever since your days in Egypt. You must know no other god but me. There is no other god who can save you. I tenderly cared for you in the desert, in the land of dreadful drought. When I pastured you, you were full, but when you were satisfied, your hearts grew proud, and you completely forgot about me.
