Hosea 13:1-4

The Lord’s Relentless Judgment on Israel

1 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
ahe was exalted in Israel,
but he incurred guilt bthrough Baal and died.
2And now they sin more and more,
and cmake for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
dall of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
“Those who offer human sacrifice ekiss calves!”
3Therefore they shall be flike the morning mist
or glike the dew that goes early away,
hlike the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor
or ilike smoke from a window.
4 But jI am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
kyou know no God but me,
and lbesides me there is no savior.
