And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Y ahora siguen empeorando, haciendo estatuas de plata e ídolos según lo que ellos piensan que Dios debería parecer. Todo es solo obra de manos humanas, pero andan diciéndole a la gente que se postre y adore estos becerros de oro.
El pueblo sigue empeorando al crear ídolos de plata según sus propias ideas y adorar becerros de oro hechos por manos humanas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of the prophet Hosea in the 8th century BC, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was experiencing economic prosperity but was deeply engaged in idolatry, turning away from their covenant with God to worship man-made images. These idols, often made from silver and crafted by skilled artisans, represented a blatant rejection of God's commands against graven images, as seen in the earlier books of the Bible. The practice mentioned, such as kissing the calves, was a ritual of false worship that echoed the golden calf incident from Exodus but highlighted Israel's ongoing spiritual rebellion.
