• Hosea 13:1, 2
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 13 “When Eʹphra·im spoke, there was trembling;

      He was prominent in Israel.+

      But he became guilty with regard to Baʹal+ and died.

       2 Now they add to their sin

      And make metal statues* from their silver;+

      They skillfully make idols, all the work of craftsmen.

      To them they say, ‘Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.’+
