¹“Sound the alarm!The enemy descends like an eagle on the people of the Lord, for they have broken my covenantand revolted against my law. ²Now Israel pleads with me, ‘Help us, for you are our God!’ ³But it is too late.The people of Israel have rejected what is good, and now their enemies will chase after them. ⁴The people have appointed kings without my consent, and princes without my approval.By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold, they have brought about their own destruction. ⁵“O Samaria, I reject this calf - this idol you have made.My fury burns against you.How long will you be incapable of innocence? ⁶This calf you worship, O Israel, was crafted by your own hands!It is not God!Therefore, it must be smashed to bits. ⁷“They have planted the windand will harvest the whirlwind.The stalks of grain witherand produce nothing to eat.And even if there is any grain, foreigners will eat it. ⁸The people of Israel have been swallowed up;they lie among the nations like an old discarded pot. ⁹Like a wild donkey looking for a mate, they have gone up to Assyria.The people of Israel#8:9 Hebrew Ephraim, referring to the northern kingdom of Israel; also in 8:11. have sold themselves - sold themselves to many lovers. ¹⁰But though they have sold themselves to many allies, I will now gather them together for judgment.Then they will writheunder the burden of the great king. ¹¹“Israel has built many altars to take away sin, but these very altars became places for sinning! ¹²Even though I gave them all my laws, they act as if those laws don’t apply to them. ¹³The people love to offer sacrifices to me, feasting on the meat, but I do not accept their sacrifices.I will hold my people accountable for their sins, and I will punish them.They will return to Egypt. ¹⁴Israel has forgotten its Maker and built great palaces, and Judah has fortified its cities.Therefore, I will send down fire on their citiesand will burn up their fortresses.”
