Osee 8:5

5 Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?

Osee 8:5 In-Context

3 For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.

4 They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.

5 Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?

6 Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; wherefore thy calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:

7 for they sowed blighted , and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
