2 Israel cries to Me,“My God, we know You.”
3 Israel has cast off the good;the enemy will pursue him.
4 They set up kings, but not through Me;they made princes, but I did not knowit.With their silver and gold,they made idols,so that they will be cut off.
5 Your calf, O Samaria, is rejected!My anger is kindled against them.How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6 For it is from Israel;a craftsman made it,and it is not God!The calf of Samariawill be broken to pieces.
7 For they sow the wind,and they will reap the whirlwind.The standing grain has no headand will yield no flour.If it were to yield,foreigners would swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up.Now they are among the nationsas a vessel in which there is no pleasure.
