Israel will Reap the Whirlwind
1 "Put a ram's horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the LORD 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 thrown off good; the enemy shall pursue him.

5 Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. How long shall they be incapable of innocence?
6 For from Israel it came also--the craftsman made it, but it is not God; for the calf of Samaria shall be broken into shivers.
7 For they sow to the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. It has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal; but if it does yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up; now they shall be among the Gentiles as a vessel in which there is no pleasure;
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now I will gather them. And they shall sorrow in a little while under the burden of kings and princes.
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars to sin, altars shall be to him for sin.
12 I have written to him the great things of My law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of My offerings, and eat it; but the LORD does not receive 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 cities. But I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall burn up her palaces."
