1 Set the trumpet7782 to your mouth.2441 He shall come as an eagle5404 against5921 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 because3282 they have transgressed5674 my covenant,1285 and trespassed against5921 my law.8451

2 Israel3478 shall cry2199 to me, My God,430 we know3045 you.

3 Israel3478 has cast2186 off the thing that is good:2896 the enemy341 shall pursue7291 him.

4 They have set up kings,4428 but not by me: they have made princes,8269 and I knew3045 it not: of their silver3701 and their gold2091 have they made6213 them idols,6091 that they may be cut3772 off.

5 Your calf,5695 O Samaria,8111 has cast2186 you off; my anger639 is kindled2734 against them: how349 long5704 will it be ere3808 they attain3201 to innocence?5356

6 For from Israel3478 was it also: the workman2796 made6213 it; therefore it is not God:430 but the calf5695 of Samaria8111 shall be broken7616 in pieces.

7 For they have sown2232 the wind,7307 and they shall reap7114 the whirlwind:5492 it has no369 stalk;7054 the bud6779 shall yield6213 no369 meal:7058 if194 so be it yield,6213 the strangers2114 shall swallow1104 it up.

8 Israel3478 is swallowed1104 up: now shall they be among the Gentiles1471 as a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure.2656

9 For they are gone5927 up to Assyria,804 a wild6501 ass6501 alone909 by himself: Ephraim669 has hired8566 lovers.158

10 Yes,1571 though3588 they have hired8566 among the nations,1471 now6258 will I gather6908 them, and they shall sorrow2490 a little4592 for the burden4853 of the king4428 of princes.8269

11 Because3588 Ephraim669 has made6213 many7235 altars4196 to sin,2398 altars4196 shall be to him to sin.2398

12 I have written3789 to him the great7239 things of my law,8451 but they were counted2803 as a strange2114 thing.

13 They sacrifice2076 flesh1320 for the sacrifices2077 of my offerings,1890 and eat398 it; but the LORD3068 accepts7521 them not; now6258 will he remember2142 their iniquity,5771 and visit6485 their sins:2403 they shall return7725 to Egypt.4714

14 For Israel3478 has forgotten7911 his Maker,6213 and builds1129 temples;1964 and Judah3063 has multiplied7235 fenced1219 cities:5892 but I will send7971 a fire784 on his cities,5892 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof.
