1 Sound the alarm!An eagle looms over the temple of the Lord!For they have broken their covenant with me,and have rebelled against my law.
2 Israel cries out to me,“My God, we acknowledge you!”
3 But Israel has rejected what is morally good;so an enemy will pursue him.
4 They enthroned kings without my consent!They appointed princes without my approval!They made idols out of their silver and gold,but they will be destroyed!
5 O Samaria, he has rejected your calf idol!My anger burns against them!They will not survive much longer without being punished,even though they are Israelites!
