OETHOS 8 ©

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

8:1Yisrael’s rejection of God

8Blow the trumpet—

someone like a vulture is swooping over Yahweh’s residence

because Yahweh’s people have transgressed my covenant

and rebelled against my law.

2They call out to me,

‘My God, we in Israel know you.’

3Israel has rejected what’s good.

An enemy will chase after them.

4They appointed kings, but not through me.

They’ve appointed leaders but I didn’t know about it.

They’ve made idols for themselves with their gold and silver

so they’ll end up being destroyed.”

5“Your calf has been rejected, Shomron (Samaria).

My anger burns against them.

For how long will they be incapable of innocence,

6because it came from Israel—a craftsman made it.

It’s not God.

That calf in Shomron will end up in pieces,

7because they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

The standing grain has no heads—it yields no flour.

If it were to produce, strangers would grab it anyway.

8Israel is swallowed up.

Now they’re now among the nations like a cup that no one likes

9because they’ve gone up to Assyria—a wild donkey all alone.

Efraim/Yisrael has hired lovers for herself.

10Even though they hire lovers among the nations, now I’ll gather them together.

They’ll begin to diminish under the burden of the king of princes.


11Since Efraim has set-up multiple altars for sin offerings,

they have become altars for their sinning.

12Even if I wrote down my instructions for them ten thousand times,

they would regard them as something strange.

13As for my sacrificial gifts, they sacrifice meat and eat it,

but Yahweh doesn’t accept their sacrifices.

Now he will remember their disobedience

and punish their sins.

They will return to Egypt.


14Yisrael has forgotten his maker and has built palaces.

Yehudah has fortified many cities,

but I’ll send fire into their cities—

it’ll devour their fortresses.
