Hosea 8:2-4

Expanded Bible

² Israel cries out to me,
    ‘Our God, we in Israel ·know [acknowledge] you!’
³ But Israel has rejected what is good,
    so the enemy will ·chase [pursue] them.
⁴ They ·chose their own [appointed; enthroned] kings
    ·without asking my permission [^Lbut not from me].
They chose their own ·leaders [princes],
    people I did not ·know [acknowledge; approve].
They made their silver and gold into idols,
    and for all this they will be destroyed.
