1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth, swiftly as an Egle shall the enemie come agaynst the house of the Lorde: for they haue broken my couenaunt, and transgressed my lawe. 2 Israel shoulde haue sayde vnto me: Thou art my God, we knowe thee. 3 But he hath refused the thyng that is good, therfore shall the enemie pursue him. 4 They haue ordeyned kinges, but not through me, they haue made princes, and I knewe it not: of their siluer and golde haue they made them idols, therfore shall they be destroyed. 5 Thy Calfe O Samaria hath cast thee of, for my wrathfull indignation is gone foorth agaynst them: howe long wyll they be without innocencie? 6 For the calfe came from Israel, the workman made it, therfore can it be no God: but euen in peeces shall the calfe of Samaria be broken.
