1 Set the shofar to thy lips. He [the Assyrian enemy] shall come as a nesher against the Bais Hashem, because they have transgressed My brit (covenant), and committed pesha against My torah.
2 Yisroel shall cry unto Me, Elohai, we know Thee. We, Yisroel!
3 Yisroel hath cast off the thing that is tov; the oyev (enemy) shall pursue him.
4 They have set up melachim, but not from Me; they have made sarim (princes), and I knew it not; of their kesef and their zahav have they made them atzabim (idols), that they may be cut off.
