Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?

The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They -- to Egypt they turn back.

I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.

From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where is thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes.

I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.
