1. “Put the trumpet to your lips and give the warning!The enemy swoops down on my people like an eagle.The Israelites have broken my agreement.They have turned against my teachings.
2. They cry out to me,‘Our God, we in Israel know you!’
3. But Israel has rejected what is good.So the enemy chases them.
4. They chose their own kingswithout asking my permission.They chose their own leaders,men I did not know.They made their silver and gold into idols.For all this they will be destroyed.
5. I hate that calf-shaped idol.I am very angry with the people.How long will they remain unclean?
