1Set the trumpet to your lips! One like a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law.1אֶל־ חִכְּךָ֣ שֹׁפָ֔ר כַּנֶּ֖שֶׁר עַל־ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה יַ֚עַן עָבְר֣וּ בְרִיתִ֔י וְעַל־ תּוֹרָתִ֖י פָּשָֽׁעוּ׃
2To me they cry, “My God, we—Israel—know you.”2לִ֖י יִזְעָ֑קוּ אֱלֹהַ֥י יְֽדַעֲנ֖וּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
3Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.3זָנַ֥ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל ט֑וֹב אוֹיֵ֖ב יִרְדְּֽפוֹ׃‪‬
4They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but I knew it not. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.4הֵ֤ם הִמְלִיכוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א מִמֶּ֔נִּי הֵשִׂ֖ירוּ וְלֹ֣א יָדָ֑עְתִּי כַּסְפָּ֣ם וּזְהָבָ֗ם עָשׂ֤וּ לָהֶם֙ עֲצַבִּ֔ים לְמַ֖עַן יִכָּרֵֽת׃
5I have spurned your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?5זָנַח֙ עֶגְלֵ֣ךְ שֹֽׁמְר֔וֹן חָרָ֥ה אַפִּ֖י בָּ֑ם עַד־ מָתַ֕י לֹ֥א יוּכְל֖וּ נִקָּיֹֽן׃
6For it is from Israel; a craftsman made it; it is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.6כִּ֤י מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְה֔וּא חָרָ֣שׁ עָשָׂ֔הוּ וְלֹ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים ה֑וּא כִּֽי־ שְׁבָבִ֣ים יִֽהְיֶ֔ה עֵ֖גֶל שֹׁמְרֽוֹן׃
7For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no flour; if it were to yield, strangers would devour it.7כִּ֛י ר֥וּחַ יִזְרָ֖עוּ וְסוּפָ֣תָה יִקְצֹ֑רוּ קָמָ֣ה אֵֽין־ ל֗וֹ צֶ֚מַח בְּלִ֣י יַֽעֲשֶׂה־ קֶּ֔מַח אוּלַ֣י יַֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה זָרִ֖ים יִבְלָעֻֽהוּ׃
8Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.8נִבְלַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עַתָּה֙ הָי֣וּ בַגּוֹיִ֔ם כִּכְלִ֖י אֵֽין־ חֵ֥פֶץ בּֽוֹ׃
9For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey wandering alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.9כִּֽי־ הֵ֙מָּה֙ עָל֣וּ אַשּׁ֔וּר פֶּ֖רֶא בּוֹדֵ֣ד ל֑וֹ אֶפְרַ֖יִם הִתְנ֥וּ אֲהָבִֽים‪‬‪‬
10Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And the king and princes shall soon writhe because of the tribute.10גַּ֛ם כִּֽי־ יִתְנ֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֖ם עַתָּ֣ה אֲקַבְּצֵ֑ם וַיָּחֵ֣לּוּ מְּעָ֔ט מִמַּשָּׂ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ שָׂרִֽים׃
11Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.11כִּֽי־ הִרְבָּ֥ה אֶפְרַ֛יִם מִזְבְּחֹ֖ת לַחֲטֹ֑א הָיוּ־ ל֥וֹ מִזְבְּח֖וֹת לַחֲטֹֽא׃
12Were I to write for him my laws by the ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.12[אכתוב־] (אֶ֨כְתָּב־) ל֔וֹ [רבו] (רֻבֵּ֖י) תּֽוֹרָתִ֑י כְּמוֹ־ זָ֖ר נֶחְשָֽׁבוּ׃
13As for my sacrificial offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.13זִבְחֵ֣י הַבְהָבַ֗י יִזְבְּח֤וּ בָשָׂר֙ וַיֹּאכֵ֔לוּ יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֣א רָצָ֑ם עַתָּ֞ה יִזְכֹּ֤ר עֲוֺנָם֙ וְיִפְקֹ֣ד חַטֹּאותָ֔ם הֵ֖מָּה מִצְרַ֥יִם יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃
14For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces, and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; so I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour her strongholds.14וַיִּשְׁכַּ֨ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶת־ עֹשֵׂ֗הוּ וַיִּ֙בֶן֙ הֵֽיכָל֔וֹת וִֽיהוּדָ֕ה הִרְבָּ֖ה עָרִ֣ים בְּצֻר֑וֹת וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי־ אֵ֣שׁ בְּעָרָ֔יו וְאָכְלָ֖ה אַרְמְנֹתֶֽיהָ׃ ס
