1 Put a trumpet to your lips! An eagle swoops over the house of the Lord because they have broken my agreement and rebelled against my law.
To mouth your a horn like eagle over [the] house of Yahweh because they have transgressed covenant my and on law my they have rebelled.
2 Israel calls out to me, “Our God, we know you!”
To me they cry out O God my we know you Israel.
3 But Israel has rejected what is good. An enemy will chase after them.
It has rejected Israel good an enemy he will pursue him.
4 They appointed kings without my consent and chose princes without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
They they have made kings and not from me they have installed leaders and not I knew silver their and gold their they have made for themselves idols so that it may be cut off.
5 Samaria, I reject this calf idol you have made! My anger burns against them! How long will you be incapable of being good?
He has rejected calf your O Samaria it has burned anger my on them until when? not will they be able innocence.
6 This idol is from Israel! A craftsman made it—it's not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken in pieces!
For [are] from Israel and it a craftsman he made it and not [is] God it for fragments it will become [the] calf of Samaria.
7 Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head of grain; it will produce no flour. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would swallow it all up.
For a wind they sow and a storm-wind they will reap standing grain not [belongs] to it growth not it will produce flour perhaps it will produce strangers they will swallow it.
8 Israel is swallowed up; among the nations they are like something nobody wants.
It will be swallowed Israel now they are among the nations like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it.
9 They have gone up to Assyria like a donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers.
For they they have gone up Assyria a wild donkey isolated to itself Ephraim they have hired (lovers *L(abh)*)
10 Even though they have hired allies among the nations, I will gather them together. Then they will writhe under the burden of the great king.
also for they will hire among the nations now I will gather them and they have begun a few from [the] burden of a king princes.
11 Though Ephraim built many altars to make sin offerings, they instead became altars of sin!
For he has multiplied Ephraim altars for sinning they have become to him altars for sinning.
12 I wrote down for them the many aspects of my law, but they looked on them as foreign.
(I wrote *Q(k)*) for him ([the] numerous things of *Q(K)*) law my like a strange [thing] they are regarded.
13 They present me with their sacrifices, and they eat the meat, but I the Lord do not accept them. Now he will remember their wickedness, and punish them for their sins. They will return to Egypt.
[the] sacrifices of Gifts my they sacrifice flesh and they ate [it] Yahweh not he is pleased with them now he will remember iniquity their so he may punish sins their they Egypt they will return.
14 Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces; Judah has built many fortified cities. But I will rain fire down on their cities and burn up their fortresses.
And he has forgotten Israel maker his and he has built palaces and Judah he has multiplied cities fortified and I will send fire on cities his and it will consume fortresses his.
