Hosea 13:1-2

The  Lord’s Relentless Judgment on Israel

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
a he was exalted in Israel,
but he incurred guilt b through Baal and died.
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!”
