1 Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law. 2 They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.” 3 Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him. 4 They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over. 5 Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed? 6 For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders. Hosea 8:1-6, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
