Set the trumpet
to thy mouth.
He shall come as an eagle
against the house
of the LORD,
because they have transgressed
my covenant,
and trespassed
against my law.
Israel
shall cry
unto me, My God,
we know
thee.
Israel
hath cast off
the thing that is good:
the enemy
shall pursue
him.
They have set up kings,
but not by me: they have made princes,
and I knew
it not: of their silver
and their gold
have they made
them idols,
that they may be cut off.
Thy calf,
O Samaria,
hath cast
thee off; mine anger
is kindled
against them: how long will it be ere
they attain
to innocency?
For from Israel
was it also: the workman
made
it; therefore it is not God:
but the calf
of Samaria
shall be broken in pieces.
For they have sown
the wind,
and they shall reap
the whirlwind:
it hath no stalk:
the bud
shall yield
no meal:
if
so be it yield,
the strangers
shall swallow it up.

Israel
is swallowed up:
now shall they be among the Gentiles
as a vessel
wherein is no pleasure.
For they are gone up
to Assyria,
a wild ass
alone
by himself: Ephraim
hath hired
lovers.
Yea, though they have hired
among the nations,
now will I gather
them, and they shall sorrow
a little
for the burden
of the king
of princes.
Because Ephraim
hath made many
altars
to sin,
altars
shall be unto him to sin.
I have written
to him the great things
of my law,
but they were counted
as a strange thing.
They sacrifice
flesh
for the sacrifices
of mine offerings,
and eat
it; but the LORD
accepteth
them not; now will he remember
their iniquity,
and visit
their sins:
they shall return
to Egypt.

For Israel
hath forgotten
his Maker,
and buildeth
temples;
and Judah
hath multiplied
fenced
cities:
but I will send
a fire
upon his cities,
and it shall devour
the palaces
thereof.
