8 Set the trumpet to your lips!
An eagle swoops upon the house of the Eternal;
for my compact they have broken,
and rebelled against my law,
2 although they cry to me,
“God of Israel, we know thee.”
3 Israel discards the good:
so let the foe pursue them!
4b Of silver and gold they made them idols–
only to be wasted.
5 Your Calf, Samaria, I detest it,
my wrath blazes at it
6 [[How long will it be before Israel
returns to purity of life?]];
a craftsman made it,
it is not God–
no, Samaria’s Calf shall be smashed.
7 They sow the wind and reap the storm.
No stalk on their shoot it bears no fruit.
If fruit it bore, a foreigner would devour it.
8a [[And Israel is devoured.]]
4a They set up kings, but not with my consent;
they set up chiefs, but not with my approval;
8b and now they count for nothing among the nations.
9 They have gone off to Assyria wilfully,
like a wild ass by himself;
they have offered love-gifts to Egypt.
10 If thus they spend themselves among the nations,
I must be scattering them,
to make them cease awhile
from electing kings and chiefs.
11 Many an altar has Ephraim raised,
altars that only serve for sin.
12 Were I to write for him my laws,
he would but think them foreigners’ saws.
13 They sacrifice indeed,
sacrifice flesh – and eat it!
The Eternal has no delight in that!
I must remember their guilt now,
and punish their iniquity
[[Back to Egypt they must go.
14 For Israel forgot his Maker and built temples,
Judah made many a citadel:
but I fling fires of war on citadels,
and burn up temples]].
