9:17 The prophet’s message about Yisrael

17My God will reject them because they haven’t listened to him.

They will become wanderers among the nations.

10Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit.

The more his fruit increased, the more altars he built.

As his land prospered, he improved his sacred pillars.

2Their heart is deceitful.

Now they must bear their guilt.

He will break down their altars.

He’ll destroy their pillars.


3Now they’ll say, “We don’t have any king,

because we don’t respect Yahweh,

and what advantage would it be to us to have a king?”

4They speak mere words.

They make agreements with worthless promises.

So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.

5The inhabitants of Shomron (Samaria) will be afraid about what will happen to the calf of Beth-Aven.

Indeed, its people will mourn over it, as will its idolatrous priests who had rejoiced over it

and over its splendour because it’s departed from them.

6The thing itself will be carried to Assyria as tribute for the great king.

Efraim will receive shame,

and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.


7The king of Shomron will be removed,

like a twig getting carried out of sight by a river.

8The high places of Aven, the place of Israel’s sin, will be destroyed.

Thorns and thistles will grow up on their altars.

Then they’ll say to the mountains, ‘Cover us!’

and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’[ref]
