The Apostasy of Israel
1 “Set the1 trumpet to your mouth!
He shall come alike an eagle against the house of the Lord,
Because they have transgressed My covenant
And rebelled against My law.
He shall come alike an eagle against the house of the Lord,
Because they have transgressed My covenant
And rebelled against My law.
4 “Theya set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.
5 Your1 calf is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
aHow long until they attain to innocence?
My anger is aroused against them—
aHow long until they attain to innocence?
6 For from Israel is even this:
A aworkman made it, and it is not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
A aworkman made it, and it is not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
7 “Theya sow the wind,
And reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no bud;
It shall never produce meal.
If it should produce,
bAliens would swallow it up.
And reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no bud;
It shall never produce meal.
If it should produce,
bAliens would swallow it up.
