Set the shofar to thy mouth. He shall come like an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and rebelled against my Tora.

Yisra᾽el shall cry to me, My God, we know thee.

Yisra᾽el has cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

They have set up kings, but not from me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.

Thy calf, O Shomeron, has cast thee off; my anger burns against them: how long will it be before they attain to innocency?

For from Yisra᾽el was it also: the workman made it; it is not God: but the calf of Shomeron shall be broken in pieces.

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the stormwind: it has no stalk: the bud that shall yield no meal: if perhaps it yields, strangers shall swallow it up.

Yisra᾽el is swallowed up: now shall they be among the nations like a useless vessel.

For they are gone up to Ashur, a wild ass alone by himself: Efrayim has hired lovers.

Though they have hired lovers among the nations, now I will gather them; and in a little while they will tremble at the burden of a king and princes.

Because Efrayim has multiplied altars for sin, the altars have been to him a cause of sinning.

Though I write for him the great things of my Tora, they are reckoned a strange thing.

As for the sacrifices that they burn for me, let them slaughter the flesh, and eat it; the Lord desires them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and punish their sins: they shall return to Miżrayim.

For Yisra᾽el has forgotten his Maker, and builds palaces; and Yehuda has multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour their palaces.
