Hosea 8:4

They 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.

KJV

Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me ; principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi : argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent.

Vulgate

ἑαυτοῖς ἐβασίλευσαν καὶ οὐ δι’ ἐμοῦ, ἦρξαν καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώρισάν μοι, τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ χρυσίον αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς εἴδωλα, ὅπως ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν.

LXX

They 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.
