1 Sound a warning!Israel, you broke our agreementand ignored my teaching.Now an eagle is swooping downto attack my land.
2 Israel, you say, “We claim you,the Lord, as our God.”
3 But your enemieswill chase you for rejectingour good agreement.
4 You chose kings and leaderswithout consulting me;you made silver and gold idolsthat led to your downfall.
5 City of Samaria, I'm angrybecause of your idolin the shape of a calf.When will you everbe innocent again?
6 Someone from Israel builtthat idol for you,but only I am God.And so it will be smashedto pieces.
