¹ Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. Cross refs

² Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. Cross refs

³ Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. Cross refs

⁴ They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. Cross refs

⁵ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? Cross refs

⁶ For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. Cross refs

⁷ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Cross refs

⁸ Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. Cross refs

⁹ For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. Cross refs

¹⁰ Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. Cross refs

¹¹ Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. Cross refs

¹² I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. Cross refs

¹³ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. Cross refs

¹⁴ For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. Cross refs
