Hosea 8:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶in Israel?^[a]

A workman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samar′ia
shall be broken to pieces.^[b]

⁷For they sow the wind,
    and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads,
    it shall yield no meal;
if it were to yield,
    aliens would devour it.
⁸Israel is swallowed up;
    already they are among the nations
    as a useless vessel.
