2. Yisroel shall cry unto Me, Elohai, we know Thee. We, Yisroel!
3. Yisroel hath cast off the thing that is tov; the oyev (enemy) shall pursue him.
4. They have set up melachim, but not from Me; they have made sarim (princes), and I knew it not; of their kesef and their zahav have they made them atzabim (idols), that they may be cut off.
5. Thy egel (calf-idol), O Shomron, I am casting off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will they be incapable of nikkayon (innocency, freedom from punishment)?
6. They are from Yisroel! The craftsman made it; therefore it is not Elohim; but the egel of Shomron shall be broken in pieces.
