1 Set the trumpet to your lips!One like a vulture is over the house of the Lord,because they have transgressed my covenantand rebelled against my law.
2 To me they cry, “My God, we—Israel—know you.”
3 Israel has spurned the good;the enemy shall pursue him.
4 They made kings, but not through me.They set up princes, but I knew it not.With their silver and gold they made idolsfor their own destruction.
5 I have spurned your calf, O Samaria.My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;a craftsman made it;it is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
