Text

1	“Sound the alarm! The enemy descends like an eagle on the people of the LORD, for they have broken my covenant and revolted against my law.
2	Now Israel pleads with me, 'Help us, for you are our God!'
3	But it is too late. The people of Israel have rejected what is good, and now their enemies will chase after them.
4	The people have appointed kings without my consent, and princes without my knowledge. By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold, they have brought about their own destruction.
5	“O Samaria, I reject this calf– this idol you have made. My fury burns against you. How long will you be incapable of innocence?
6	This calf you worship, O Israel, was crafted by your own hands! It is not God! Therefore, it must be smashed to bits.
7	“They have planted the wind and will harvest the whirlwind. The stalks of grain wither and produce nothing to eat. And even if there is any grain, foreigners will eat it.
8	The people of Israel have been swallowed up; they lie among the nations like an old discarded pot.
9	Like a wild donkey looking for a mate, they have gone up to Assyria. The people of Israel have sold themselves– sold themselves to many lovers.
10	But though they have sold themselves to many allies, I will now gather them together for judgment. Then they will writhe under the burden of the great king.
11	“Israel has built many altars to take away sin, but these very altars became places for sinning!
12	Even though I gave them all my laws, they act as if those laws don't apply to them.
13	The people of Israel love their rituals of sacrifice, but to me their sacrifices are all meaningless. I will hold my people accountable for their sins, and I will punish them. They will return to Egypt.
14	Israel has forgotten its Maker and built great palaces, and Judah has fortified its cities. Therefore, I will send down fire on their cities and will burn up their fortresses.“

1	Set the trumpet to your lips!One like a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2	To me they cry, My God, we- Israel- know you.
3	Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.
4	They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but I knew it not. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
5	I have spurned your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6	For it is from Israel; a craftsman made it; it is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
7	For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no flour; if it were to yield, strangers would devour it.
8	Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.
9	For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey wandering alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.
10	Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And the king and princes shall soon writhe because of the tribute.
11	Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.
12	Were I to write for him my laws by the ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.
13	As for my sacrificial offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
14	For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces, and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; so I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour her strongholds.

1	“Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the LORD because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2	Israel cries out to me, 'O our God, we acknowledge you!'
3	But Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.
4	They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction.
5	Throw out your calf-idol, O Samaria! My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of purity?
6	They are from Israel! This calf-a craftsman has made it; it is not God. It will be broken in pieces, that calf of Samaria.
7	“They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.
8	Israel is swallowed up; now she is among the nations like a worthless thing.
9	For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.
10	Although they have sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away under the oppression of the mighty king.
11	“Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning.
12	I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something alien.
13	They offer sacrifices given to me and they eat the meat, but the LORD is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their wickedness and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.
14	Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has fortified many towns. But I will send fire upon their cities that will consume their fortresses.“

1	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.
2	Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
3	Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
4	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.
5	Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6	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.
7	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.
8	Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9	For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
10	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.
11	Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
12	I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13	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.
14	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.
