Reaping the Wind Storm

8"Sound the ram's horn! Like a vulture the enemy will come against the temple of the Lord, because Israel violated my covenant, transgressing my law.H7782H2441H5404H1004H3068H5674H1285H6586H8451 2They cry out to me, 'God, we of Israel acknowledge you.'H3478H2199H430H3045 3"Israel has discarded what is good. The enemy will pursue them.H3478H2186H2896H341H7291 4They set kings in place, but not by me. They established princes, whom I did not recognize. They crafted idols for themselves from their silver and gold; as a result, they will be destroyed.H4427H7786H3045H3701H2091H6213H6091H3772 5Your calf, Samaria, has been thrown away. My anger is burning against them. How long until they become pure again -H5695H8111H2186H639H2734H3808H3201H5356 6Because from Israel it was fashioned by craftsmen, it is not God; therefore Samaria's calf will be broken in pieces.H3478H2796H6213H430H5695H8111H7616 7"Because they sow the wind, they will reap the wind storm. The plant has no stalk and its bud yields no grain. Even if there's a harvest, foreigners will gobble it up.H2232H7307H7114H5492H7054H6780H6213H7058H194H6213H2114H1104 8Israel has been devoured; now they will live among the nations like a worthless container.H3478H1104H1471H3627H2656 9"Because they went over to Assyria, they are like a wild donkey alone by itself. Ephraim has hired some lovers.H5927H804H6501H909H669H8566H158 10Even though they sold themselves to the nations, I will gather them. They will mourn for a while for the burden they were to the king and princes.H8566H1471H6908H2490H4592H4853H4428H8269 11"The more altars Ephraim builds for sin, the more altars there will be for sin.H669H7235H4196H2398H4196H2398 12I prescribed great things from my law for them, but they considered them profane.H3789H7230H7239H8451H2803H2114 13They offer me meat from the sacrifices of my offerings, and they eat from it, but the Lord does not accept them. He will now remember their transgression and pay them back for their sins; to Egypt they will return.H2076H1320H2077H1890H398H3068H7521H2142H5771H6485H2403H7725H4714 14"Israel has neglected its maker in building palaces. Judah has multiplied its fortified cities, but I will send fire to their cities, and it will consume their fortresses."H3478H7911H6213H1129H1964H3063H7235H1219H5892H7971H784H5892H398H759
