Israel Rejects The Good

5 Let Samaria throw out his calf idol. My anger burns against them. How long will it be until they are capable of purity? 6 For this is even from Israel. The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 7 For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.
