1 Put the shofar to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed My covenant and have rebelled against My Law.2 Israel shall cry to Me, My God, we know You.3 Israel has cast off the good; the enemy shall pursue him.4 They have set up kings, but not by Me. They have made rulers, but I did not acknowledge it. They made idols for themselves with their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off.5 O Samaria, your calf has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. How long until they attain to innocence?6 For it was also from Israel: The craftsman made it, but it is not God. But the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.7 For they sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind. It has no stalk; the bud shall yield no flour. If it should happen to produce, strangers will swallow it up.8 Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which is no pleasure.9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now I will gather them; and they shall begin to be few, because of the burden of the king of rulers.11 Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, they are altars to him to sin.12 I have written the great things of My Law for him, but they were counted as a strange thing.13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of My offerings, and they eat; but Jehovah does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return to Egypt.14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall burn up his palaces.

1 A trumpe be in thi throte, as an egle on the hous of the Lord; for that that thei yeden ouer my boond of pees, and braken my lawe.2 Thei clepiden me to helpe, A! my God, we Israel han knowe thee.3 Israel hath cast awei good, the enemye schal pursue hym.4 Thei regnyden, and not of me; thei weren princes, and Y knew not. Thei maden her gold and siluer idols to hem, that thei schulden perische.5 A! Samarie, thi calf is cast awei; my strong veniaunce is wrooth ayens hem. Hou long moun thei not be clensid?6 for also it is of Israel. A crafti man made it, and it is not god; for the calf of Samarie schal be in to webbis of ireyns.7 For thei schulen sowe wynd, and thei schulen repe whirlewynd. A stalke stondynge is not in hem, the seed schal not make mele; that if also it makith mele, aliens schulen ete it.8 Israel is deuouryd; now Israel is maad as an vnclene vessel among naciouns,9 for thei stieden to Assur. Effraym is a wielde asse, solitarie to hym silf. Thei yauen yiftis to louyeris;10 but also with meede thei hiriden naciouns. Now Y schal gadere hem togidere, and thei schulen reste a litil fro birthun of the kyng and of princes.11 For Efraym multipliede auteris to do synne, auteris weren maad to hym in to trespas.12 Y schal write to hem my many fold lawis, that ben arettid as alien lawis.13 Thei schulen brynge sacrifices, thei shulen offre, and ete fleischis; and the Lord schal not resseyue tho. Now he schal haue mynde on the wickidnessis of hem, and he schal visite the synnes of hem; thei schulen turne in to Egipt.14 And Israel foryat his makere, and bildide templis to idols, and Judas multipliede stronge citees; and Y schal sende fier in to the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure the housis of hym.
