Hosea 8:4New Messianic Version BibleThey have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. See the chapter |
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], that he took to wife Izevel [Ba’al exalts] the daughter of Etba’al [with Ba’al] king of the people of Tzidon [Hunting], and went and served Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and worshipped him.
N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] the king made an image of gold, whose height [was] threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
