Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Hosea 8:5:

I shall throw away that idol of a calf they have formed.
My anger rises up because of them.
Until when will you do sin?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “O Samaria! Throw away your bull-calf idol!
My anger has been burning against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “I reject the little-god cow of those (who) come-from-Samaria. My anger burns-up against them. Until when yet will- they -live without sin?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

I am extremely angry with you people!
How long will you do things that cause you to be unacceptable to me?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
