Hosea 8:2-5

Hosea 8:2-5 TPT

Of course, they cry out to me, ‘Our God!’ My people, Israel, you claim that you know me, but you have rejected what is good. Therefore, your enemies will pursue you.” “They have selected kings but without my consent, and appointed leaders but without seeking my advice. They have made idols out of their silver and gold— what an excellent way to lose their money! Samaria, I reject your calf-idol! My anger blazes against your people. How long before they reclaim their purity?
