1 “Put the ram’s horn to your mouth, like an eagle against the House of יהוה, because they have transgressed My covenant, and they have rebelled against My Torah.
2 “They cry out to Me, ‘My Elohim – we, Yisra’ĕl, know You!’
3 “Yisra’ĕl has rejected what is good, an enemy pursues him.
4 “They have made sovereigns, but not from Me. They have made rulers, but I have not known. From their silver and gold they made idols for themselves, so that they are cut off.
5 “O Shomeron, your calf has been cast off! My wrath has burned against them. How long shall they be incapable of innocence?
6 “For from Yisra’ĕl is even this: a workman made it, and it is not Elohim! For the calf of Shomeron is splinters!
7 “For they sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud, it yields no grain. If it does yield, strangers swallow it up.
