3. Israel has cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
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.
5. Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be before they attain to innocence?
6. For from Israel is even this: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7. For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: the stalk has no bud: it shall yield no meal: if so be it does yield, the aliens shall swallow it up.
8. Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which is no pleasure.
