1 “Set the trumpet to your mouth!He shall come like an eagle against the house of the Lord,Because they have transgressed My covenantAnd rebelled against My law.
2 Israel will cry to Me,‘My God, we know You!’
3 Israel has rejected the good;The enemy will pursue him.
4 “They set up kings, but not by Me;They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.From their silver and goldThey made idols for themselves—That they might be cut off.
5 Your calf is rejected, O Samaria!My anger is aroused against them—How long until they attain to innocence?
6 For from Israel is even this:A workman made it, and it is not God;But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
7 “They sow the wind,And reap the whirlwind.The stalk has no bud;It shall never produce meal.If it should produce,Aliens would swallow it up.
