[5]Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? |
| [6]For it came even from Israel: the workman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. |

| [7]For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall bring forth no meal: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall devour it. |

[10]Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes. |

| [14]For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth temples, and Judah hath increased strong cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. |
[14]For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof. |
