8[Put] the horn to your mouth! One like an eagle comes against the house of the LORD, because they transgress My covenant and rebel against My law.H7782H2441H5404H1004H3068H5674H1285H6586H84512Israel cries out to Me: My God, we know You!H3478H2199H430H30453Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.H3478H2186H2896H341H72914They have installed kings, but not through Me. They have appointed leaders, but without My approval. They make their silver and gold into idols for themselves for their own destruction.H4427H7786H3045H3701H2091H6213H6091H37725Your calf-idol is rejected, Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?H5695H8111H2186H639H2734H3808H3201H53566For this thing is from Israel— a craftsman made it, and it is not God. The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!H3478H2796H6213H430H5695H8111H76167Indeed, they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if they did, foreigners would swallow it up.H2232H7307H7114H5492H7054H6780H6213H7058H194H6213H2114H11048Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like discarded pottery.H3478H1104H1471H3627H26569For they have gone up to Assyria [like] a wild donkey going off on its own. Ephraim has paid for love.H5927H804H6501H909H669H8566H15810Even though they hire [lovers] among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to decrease in number under the burden of the king and leaders.H8566H1471H6908H2490H4592H4853H4428H826911When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.H669H7235H4196H2398H4196H239812Though I were to write out for him ten thousand points of My law, they would be regarded as something alien.H3789H7230H7239H8451H2803H211413Though they offer sacrificial gifts and eat the flesh, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their guilt and punish their sins; they will return to Egypt.H2076H1320H2077H1890H398H3068H7521H2142H5771H6485H2403H7725H471414Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has also multiplied fortified cities. I will send fire on their cities, and it will consume their citadels.H3478H7911H6213H1129H1964H3063H7235H1219H5892H7971H784H5892H398H759
