2“To me they called and they said: ”We know you, our God!”

3Israel has forgotten goodness and the enemy chases them

4They took counsel, but not from me, and they were authorized and they did not inform me. Their silver and their gold they have made idols for themselves that they would be destroyed

5They have strayed by your calf, Samaria, and my anger was provoked against them; how long are they unable to be innocent?

6Because it is from Israel and a Carpenter made it and it is not God, but your calf was for a deception, Samaria

7Because they sowed wind and they have reaped a hurricane, and they do not have a stalk, neither an ear that makes meal, and if they had foreigners, they would have been eating it

8Israel is swallowed up, and from now on they are among the Gentiles like a vessel with no usefulness in it

9Gifts because they came up to Assyria like a lone donkey; Aphreim has loved

10Even if they are handed over among the Gentiles, I shall gather them and they shall rest a little from the burden of the Kings and of the Rulers

11Because Aphreim has multiplied altars for sin, and he had altars for great sin

12And I have written to him the abundance of my laws, and he considered my words as a foreign woman

13They sacrifice the sacrifices of the chosen ones and they eat the flesh, and LORD JEHOVAH is not pleased with them, therefore their evil will be remembered and he shall review their sins and they shall return to Egypt

14Israel has forgotten The One who made him, and built temples, and Yehuda multiplied fortress cities. I shall set a fire in his city and it will devour her palaces
