They have embellished his sacred pillars.

Now they are held guilty.
He will break down their altars;
He will ruin their sacred pillars.

“We have no king,
Because we did not fear the Lord.
And as for a king, what would he do for us?”

Because we did not fear the Lord.
And as for a king, what would he do for us?”
4 They have spoken words,
Swearing falsely in making a covenant.
Thus judgment springs up alike hemlock in the furrows of the field.

Because of the acalf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
And1 its priests shriek for it—
Because its bglory has departed from it.

6 The idol also shall be carried to Assyria
As a present for King aJareb.
Ephraim shall receive shame,
And Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
