1 Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.2 They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.3 Israel has given up what is good; his haters will go after him.4 They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.5 I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?6 The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.7 For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.8 Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.9 For they have gone up to Assyria like an ass going by himself; Ephraim has given money to get lovers.10 But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.11 Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.12 Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.13 He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.14 For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.
1 [In gutture tuo sit tubaquasi aquila super domum Domini,pro eo quod transgressi sunt fdus meum,et legem meam prvaricati sunt.2 Me invocabunt : Deus meus,cognovimus te Isral.3 Projecit Isral bonum :inimicus persequetur eum.4 Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me ;principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi :argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola,ut interirent.5 Projectus est vitulus tuus, Samaria ;iratus est furor meus in eos.Usquequo non poterunt emundari ?6 Quia ex Isral et ipse est :artifex fecit illum, et non est deus ;quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samari.7 Quia ventum seminabunt,et turbinem metent :culmus stans non est in eo ;germen non faciet farinam :quod etsi fecerit, alieni comedent eam.8 Devoratus est Isral ;nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.9 Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur,onager solitarius sibi ;Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.10 Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes,nunc congregabo eos,et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum.11 Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum ;fact sunt ei ar in delictum.12 Scribam ei multiplices leges meas,qu velut alien computat sunt.13 Hostias offerent,immolabunt carnes et comedent,et Dominus non suscipiet eas :nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum,et visitabit peccata eorum :ipsi in gyptum convertentur.14 Et oblitus est Isral factoris sui,et dificavit delubra ;et Judas multiplicavit urbes munitas ;et mittam ignem in civitates ejus,et devorabit des illius.]
