1Set the trumpet7782 to thy mouth2441. He shall come as an eagle5404 against the house1004 of the LORD3068, because they have transgressed5674 my covenant1285, and trespassed6586 against my law8451.
2Israel3478 shall cry2199 unto me, My God430, we know3045 thee.
3Israel3478 hath cast off2186 the thing that is good2896: the enemy341 shall pursue7291 him.
4They have set up kings4427, but not by me: they have made princes7786, and I knew3045 it not: of their silver3701 and their gold2091 have they made6213 them idols6091, that they may be cut off3772.
5Thy calf5695, O Samaria8111, hath cast2186 thee off; mine anger639 is kindled2734 against them: how long will it be ere3808 they attain3201 to innocency5356?
6For from Israel3478 was it also: the workman2796 made6213 it; therefore it is not God430: but the calf5695 of Samaria8111 shall be broken in pieces7616.
7For they have sown2232 the wind7307, and they shall reap7114 the whirlwind5492: it hath no stalk7054: the bud6780 shall yield6213 no meal7058: if194 so be it yield6213, the strangers2114 shall swallow it up1104.
8Israel3478 is swallowed up1104: now shall they be among the Gentiles1471 as a vessel3627 wherein is no pleasure2656.
9For they are gone up5927 to Assyria804, a wild ass6501 alone909 by himself: Ephraim669 hath hired8566 lovers158.
10Yea, though they have hired8566 among the nations1471, now will I gather6908 them, and they shall sorrow2490 a little4592 for the burden4853 of the king4428 of princes8269.
11Because Ephraim669 hath made many7235 altars4196 to sin2398, altars4196 shall be unto him to sin2398.
12I have written3789 to him the great things7230 7239 of my law8451, but they were counted2803 as a strange thing2114.
13They sacrifice2076 flesh1320 for the sacrifices2077 of mine offerings1890, and eat398 it; but the LORD3068 accepteth7521 them not; now will he remember2142 their iniquity5771, and visit6485 their sins2403: they shall return7725 to Egypt4714.
14For Israel3478 hath forgotten7911 his Maker6213, and buildeth1129 temples1964; and Judah3063 hath multiplied7235 fenced1219 cities5892: but I will send7971 a fire784 upon his cities5892, and it shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof.
