2 Israel shall cry unto me My God we know thee
3 Israel hath 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 Thy calf O Samaria hath cast thee off mine anger is kindled against them how long will it be ere they attain to innocency
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
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
8 Israel is swallowed up now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure
9 For they are gone up to Assyria a wild ass alone by himself Ephraim hath hired lovers
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
11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin altars shall be unto him to sin
12 I have written to him the great things __ of my law but they were counted as a strange thing
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
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
