When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they have worked falsehood. And the thief comes in, the troop of robbers plunders outside.

Your calf, O Samaria, has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. Until when will they not attain purity?

For from Israel it came also. The craftsman made it, but it is not God. For the calf of Samaria shall be splinters.

Because of the calves of Beth-aven, the people of Samaria shall dread. For its people shall mourn over it, and its priest rejoiced on it for its glory, because it has departed from it.

As for Samaria, her king is cut off as a bough on the water.

Samaria shall become a waste, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword. Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.
