Hosea 13:1 BBE

¹  When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook him.

²  And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.

³  So they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew which goes early away, like the dust of the grain which the wind is driving out of the crushing-floor, like smoke going up from the fireplace.
