8"Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the LORD because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.H7782H2441H5404H1004H3068H5674H1285H6586H84512Israel cries out to me, 'Our God, we acknowledge you!'H3478H2199H430H30453But Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.H3478H2186H2896H341H72914They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction.H4427H7786H3045H3701H2091H6213H6091H37725Throw out your calf-idol, Samaria! My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of purity?H5695H8111H2186H639H2734H3808H3201H53566They are from Israel! This calf—a metalworker has made it; it is not God. It will be broken in pieces, that calf of Samaria.H3478H2796H6213H430H5695H8111H76167"They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.H2232H7307H7114H5492H7054H6780H6213H7058H194H6213H2114H11048Israel is swallowed up; now she is among the nations like something no one wants.H3478H1104H1471H3627H26569For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.H5927H804H6501H909H669H8566H15810Although they have sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away under the oppression of the mighty king.H8566H1471H6908H2490H4592H4853H4428H826911"Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning.H669H7235H4196H2398H4196H239812I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something foreign.H3789H7230H7239H8451H2803H211413Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me, and though they eat the meat, the LORD is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their wickedness and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.H2076H1320H2077H1890H398H3068H7521H2142H5771H6485H2403H7725H471414Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has fortified many towns. But I will send fire on their cities that will consume their fortresses."H3478H7911H6213H1129H1964H3063H7235H1219H5892H7971H784H5892H398H759
