I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel. Whoredom is there in Ephraim; Israel is defiled.

When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the troop of robbers ravages outside.

And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Yet they have not returned to LORD their God, nor sought him for all this.

They shall cry to me, My God, we, Israel know thee.

Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy shall pursue him.

For even this is from Israel: the workman made it, and it is no God. Yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

It shall also be carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

O Israel, thou have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity does not overtake them in Gibeah.

So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [How] shall I cast thee off, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? [How] shall I set thee as Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me. My compassions are kindled together.

And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].

And by a prophet LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.

For thus Amos says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
