1. Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.
2. They will call on me: "O my God, we, Israel, know you."
3. Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.
4. They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.
5. Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
6. For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.
7. For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.
8. Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.
