Israel’s Apostasy

8Set the trumpet to your lips! One like a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because they have broken my covenant, and transgressed my law.H7782H2441H5404H1004H3068H5674H1285H6586H8451 2Israel cries to me, "My God, we—Israel—know you!"H3478H2199H430H3045 3Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.H3478H2186H2896H341H7291 4They made kings, but not through me; they set up princes, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.H4427H7786H3045H3701H2091H6213H6091H3772 5Your calf is rejected, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?H5695H8111H2186H639H2734H3808H3201H5356 6For it is from Israel, an artisan made it; it is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.H3478H2796H6213H430H5695H8111H7616 7For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads, it shall yield no meal; if it were to yield, foreigners would devour it.H2232H7307H7114H5492H7054H6780H6213H7058H194H6213H2114H1104 8Israel is swallowed up; now they are among the nations as a useless vessel.H3478H1104H1471H3627H2656 9For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass wandering alone; Ephraim has bargained for lovers.H5927H804H6501H909H669H8566H158 10Though they bargain with the nations, I will now gather them up. They shall soon writhe under the burden of kings and princes.H8566H1471H6908H2490H4592H4853H4428H8269 11When Ephraim multiplied altars to expiate sin, they became to him altars for sinning.H669H7235H4196H2398H4196H2398 12Though I write for him the multitude of my instructions, they are regarded as a strange thing.H3789H7230H7239H8451H2803H2114 13Though they offer choice sacrifices, though they eat flesh, the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.H2076H1320H2077H1890H398H3068H7521H2142H5771H6485H2403H7725H4714 14Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his strongholds.H3478H7911H6213H1129H1964H3063H7235H1219H5892H7971H784H5892H398H759
