1[Set] the trumpet to your mouth. As an eagle [he comes] against the house of Yahweh, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
2They shall cry to me, My God, we Israel know you.
3Israel has cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I didn`t know it: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5He has cast off your calf, Samaria; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be before they attain to innocence?
6For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yes, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he has no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
