Hosea 8:4

They have set up kings, but not by Me, not by His direction nor with His consent; they have made princes, and I knew it not, for even in the case of Jeroboam and Jehu the manner of their accession did not meet with the Lord's approval, and in the case of most of the other rulers, murder and violence were the determining factors. Of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, thus cutting themselves off entirely from the covenant of the Lord, that they might be cut off, for on account of their idolatry they rushed into their own destruction with open eyes.
