Hosea 8

God specifically addresses the remaining golden calf of Samaria. Jeroboam I had built two and one of them was later destroyed (by Jehu?).. The other remained and people were still worshipping it. God is not happy about.

God also focuses on all the altars that the Israelites made. Times have changed from the time of the judges when the tribes across the Jordan made an altar and the rest of the country almost went to war with them because this. Here, God points out that a lot of altars have been created and they have become altars for sinning. This seems to indicate that they are using these other altars to worship other gods.
