1. “Put the trumpet to your lips and give the warning!The enemy swoops down on the Lord’s people like an eagle.The Israelites have broken my agreementand have turned against my teachings.
2. They cry out to me,‘Our God, we in Israel know you!’
3. But Israel has rejected what is good,so the enemy will chase them.
4. They chose their own kingswithout asking my permission.They chose their own leaders,people I did not know.They made their silver and gold into idols,and for all this they will be destroyed.
5. I hate the calf-shaped idol of Israel!I am very angry with the people.How long will they remain unclean?
