1. Put the horn to your mouth! One like an eagle comes against the house of the LORD, because they transgress My covenant and rebel against My law.
|
1. Set the trumpet H7782 to H413 thy mouth H2441 . He shall come as an eagle H5404 against H5921 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , because H3282 they have transgressed H5674 my covenant H1285 , and trespassed H6586 against H5921 my law H8451 .
|
|
2. Israel cries out to Me: My God, we know You!
|
2. Israel H3478 shall cry H2199 unto me , My God H430 , we know H3045 thee.
|
|
3. Israel has rejected what is good; an enemy will pursue him.
|
3. Israel H3478 hath cast off H2186 the thing that is good H2896 : the enemy H341 shall pursue H7291 him.
|
|
4. They have installed kings, but not through Me. They have appointed leaders, but without My approval. They make their silver and gold into idols for themselves for their own destruction.
|
4. They H1992 have set up kings H4427 , but not H3808 by H4480 me : they have made princes H8323 , and I knew H3045 it not H3808 : of their silver H3701 and their gold H2091 have they made H6213 them idols H6091 , that H4616 they may be cut off H3772 .
|
|
5. Your calf-idol is rejected, Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
|
5. Thy calf H5695 , O Samaria H8111 , hath cast thee off H2186 ; mine anger H639 is kindled H2734 against them : how long H5704 H4970 will it be ere H3808 they attain H3201 to innocency H5356 ?
|
|
6. For this thing is from Israel-- a craftsman made it, and it is not God. The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!
|
6. For H3588 from Israel H4480 H3478 was it H1931 also : the workman H2796 made H6213 it H1931 ; therefore it is not H3808 God H430 : but H3588 the calf H5695 of Samaria H8111 shall be H1961 broken in pieces H7616 .
|
|
7. Indeed, they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. There is no standing grain; what sprouts fails to yield flour. Even if they did, foreigners would swallow it up.
|
7. For H3588 they have sown H2232 the wind H7307 , and they shall reap H7114 the whirlwind H5492 : it hath no H369 stalk H7054 : the bud H6780 shall yield H6213 no H1097 meal H7058 : if so be H194 it yield H6213 , the strangers H2114 shall swallow it up H1104 .
|
|
8. Israel is swallowed up! Now they are among the nations like discarded pottery.
|
8. Israel H3478 is swallowed up H1104 : now H6258 shall they be H1961 among the Gentiles H1471 as a vessel H3627 wherein is no H369 pleasure H2656 .
|
|
9. For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey going off on its own. Ephraim has paid for love.
|
9. For H3588 they H1992 are gone up H5927 to Assyria H804 , a wild ass H6501 alone H909 by himself: Ephraim H669 hath hired H8566 lovers H158 .
|
|
10. Even though they hire lovers among the nations, I will now round them up, and they will begin to decrease in number under the burden of the king and leaders.
|
10. Yea H1571 , though H3588 they have hired H8566 among the nations H1471 , now H6258 will I gather H6908 them , and they shall sorrow H2490 a little H4592 for the burden H4480 H4853 of the king H4428 of princes H8269 .
|
|
11. When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin, they became his altars for sinning.
|
11. Because H3588 Ephraim H669 hath made many H7235 altars H4196 to sin H2398 , altars H4196 shall be H1961 unto him to sin H2398 .
|
|
12. Though I were to write out for him ten thousand points of My law, they would be regarded as something alien.
|
12. I have written H3789 to him the great things H7230 of my law H8451 , but they were counted H2803 as H3644 a strange thing H2114 .
|
|
13. Though they offer sacrificial gifts and eat the flesh, the LORD does not accept them. Now He will remember their guilt and punish their sins; they will return to Egypt.
|
13. They sacrifice H2076 flesh H1320 for the sacrifices H2077 of mine offerings H1890 , and eat H398 it; but the LORD H3068 accepteth H7521 them not H3808 ; now H6258 will he remember H2142 their iniquity H5771 , and visit H6485 their sins H2403 : they H1992 shall return H7725 to Egypt H4714 .
|
|
14. Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; Judah has also multiplied fortified cities. I will send fire on their cities, and it will consume their citadels.
|
14. For Israel H3478 hath forgotten H7911 H853 his Maker H6213 , and buildeth H1129 temples H1964 ; and Judah H3063 hath multiplied H7235 fenced H1219 cities H5892 : but I will send H7971 a fire H784 upon his cities H5892 , and it shall devour H398 the palaces H759 thereof.
