Hosea 13:1-2

New Catholic Bible

¹ When Ephraim spoke, the people trembled;
    he was exalted in Israel,
    but he incurred guilt by worshiping Baal, and died.
² And now the people continue to sin even more
    by casting images for themselves,
idols of silver fashioned after their own concept,
    all of them the work of artisans.
They say, “Offer sacrifices to these,”
    and people kiss the calf-idols.
