Hosea 8:3

8:3 But Israel has rejected what is morally good;

so an enemy will pursue him.

Hosea 8:5

8:5 O Samaria, he has rejected your calf idol!

My anger burns against them!

They will not survive much longer without being punished, ¹ 

even though they are Israelites!

[8:5]  ¹ tn Heb “How long will they be able to be free from punishment?” This rhetorical question affirms that Israel will not survive much longer until God punishes it.
