Relentless Judgment on Israel
He exalted himself in Israel;
But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
And have made for themselves molded images,
Idols of their silver, according to their skill;
All of it is the work of craftsmen.
They say of them,
“Let1 the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!”
And like the early dew that passes away,
aLike chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For bthere is no savior besides Me.
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
Therefore they forgot Me.
| << Hosea 13:2 | Hosea 13:4 >> |
