2. Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3. For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4. They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5. The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests that rejoiced on it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.
