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.
