Set the trumpetH7782 to thy mouthH2441. He shall come as an eagleH5404 against the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because they have transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285, and trespassedH6586 against my lawH8451. {thy: Heb. the roof of thy}
IsraelH3478 shall cryH2199 unto me, My GodH430, we knowH3045 thee.
IsraelH3478 hath cast offH2186 the thing that is goodH2896: the enemyH341 shall pursueH7291 him.
They have set up kingsH4427, but not by me: they have made princesH7786, and I knewH3045 it not: of their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 have they madeH6213 them idolsH6091, that they may be cut offH3772.
Thy calfH5695, O SamariaH8111, hath castH2186 thee off; mine angerH639 is kindledH2734 against them: how long will it be ereH3808 they attainH3201 to innocencyH5356?
For from IsraelH3478 was it also: the workmanH2796 madeH6213 it; therefore it is not GodH430: but the calfH5695 of SamariaH8111 shall be broken in piecesH7616.
For they have sownH2232 the windH7307, and they shall reapH7114 the whirlwindH5492: it hath no stalkH7054: the budH6780 shall yieldH6213 no mealH7058: ifH194 so be it yieldH6213, the strangersH2114 shall swallow it upH1104. {stalk: or, standing corn}
IsraelH3478 is swallowed upH1104: now shall they be among the GentilesH1471 as a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656.
For they are gone upH5927 to AssyriaH804, a wild assH6501 aloneH909 by himself: EphraimH669 hath hiredH8566 loversH158. {lovers: Heb. loves}
Yea, though they have hiredH8566 among the nationsH1471, now will I gatherH6908 them, and they shall sorrowH2490 a littleH4592 for the burdenH4853 of the kingH4428 of princesH8269. {sorrow: or, begin} {a…: or, in a little while}
Because EphraimH669 hath made manyH7235 altarsH4196 to sinH2398, altarsH4196 shall be unto him to sinH2398.
I have writtenH3789 to him the great thingsH7230+H7239 of my lawH8451, but they were countedH2803 as a strange thingH2114.
They sacrificeH2076 fleshH1320 for the sacrificesH2077 of mine offeringsH1890, and eatH398 it; but the LORDH3068 acceptethH7521 them not; now will he rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403: they shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714. {They sacrifice…: or, In the sacrifices of mine offerings they, etc}
For IsraelH3478 hath forgottenH7911 his MakerH6213, and buildethH1129 templesH1964; and JudahH3063 hath multipliedH7235 fencedH1219 citiesH5892: but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.

Their idolsH6091 are silverH3701 and goldH2091, the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027.
They have mouthsH6310, but they speakH1696 not: eyesH5869 have they, but they seeH7200 not:
They have earsH241, but they hearH8085 not: nosesH639 have they, but they smellH7306 not:
They have handsH3027, but they handleH4184 not: feetH7272 have they, but they walkH1980 not: neither speakH1897 they through their throatH1627.
They that makeH6213 them are like unto them; so is every one that trustethH982 in them.
Their heartH3820 is dividedH2505; now shall they be found faultyH816: he shall break downH6202 their altarsH4196, he shall spoilH7703 their imagesH4676. {Their heart…: or, He hath divided their heart} {break…: Heb. behead} {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images}
Moreover the altarH4196 that was at BethelH1008, and the high placeH1116 which JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, both that altarH4196 and the high placeH1116 he brake downH5422, and burnedH8313 the high placeH1116, and stampedH1854 it small to powderH6083, and burnedH8313 the groveH842.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
The idolsH6091 of the heathenH1471 are silverH3701 and goldH2091, the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027.
They have mouthsH6310, but they speakH1696 not; eyesH5869 have they, but they seeH7200 not;
They have earsH241, but they hearH238 not; neither is thereH3426 any breathH7307 in their mouthsH6310.
They that makeH6213 them are like unto them: so is every one that trustethH982 in them.
The inhabitantsH7934 of SamariaH8111 shall fearH1481 because of the calvesH5697 of BethavenH1007: for the peopleH5971 thereof shall mournH56 over it, and the priestsH3649 thereof that rejoicedH1523 on it, for the gloryH3519 thereof, because it is departedH1540 from it. {the priests…: or, Chemarim}
And all the housesH1004 also of the high placesH1116 that were in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, which the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 to provoke the LORD to angerH3707, JosiahH2977 took awayH5493, and didH6213 to them according to all the actsH4639 that he had doneH6213 in BethelH1008.
They that makeH3335 a graven imageH6459 are all of them vanityH8414; and their delectable thingsH2530 shall not profitH3276; and they are their own witnessesH5707; they seeH7200 not, nor knowH3045; that they may be ashamedH954. {delectable: Heb. desirable}
Who hath formedH3335 a godH410, or moltenH5258 a graven imageH6459 that is profitableH3276 for nothingH1115?
Behold, all his fellowsH2270 shall be ashamedH954: and the workmenH2796, they are of menH120: let them all be gathered togetherH6908, let them stand upH5975; yet they shall fearH6342, and they shall be ashamedH954 togetherH3162.
The smithH1270+H2796 with the tongsH4621 both workethH6466 in the coalsH6352, and fashionethH3335 it with hammersH4717, and workethH6466 it with the strengthH3581 of his armsH2220: yea, he is hungryH7457, and his strengthH3581 failethH369: he drinkethH8354 no waterH4325, and is faintH3286. {with the tongs: or, with an axe}
The carpenterH2796+H6086 stretcheth outH5186 his ruleH6957; he marketh it outH8388 with a lineH8279; he fittethH6213 it with planesH4741, and he marketh it outH8388 with the compassH4230, and makethH6213 it after the figureH8403 of a manH376, according to the beautyH8597 of a manH120; that it may remainH3427 in the houseH1004.
He heweth him downH3772 cedarsH730, and takethH3947 the cypressH8645 and the oakH437, which he strengthenethH553 for himself among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293: he plantethH5193 an ashH766, and the rainH1653 doth nourishH1431 it. {strengtheneth: or, taketh courage}
Then shall it be for a manH120 to burnH1197: for he will takeH3947 thereof, and warmH2552 himself; yea, he kindlethH5400 it, and bakethH644 breadH3899; yea, he makethH6466 a godH410, and worshippethH7812 it; he makethH6213 it a graven imageH6459, and falleth downH5456 thereto.
He burnethH8313 partH2677 thereof inH1119 the fireH784; with partH2677 thereof he eatethH398 fleshH1320; he roastethH6740 roastH6748, and is satisfiedH7646: yea, he warmethH2552 himself, and saithH559, AhaH1889, I am warmH2552, I have seenH7200 the fireH217:
And the residueH7611 thereof he makethH6213 a godH410, even his graven imageH6459: he falleth downH5456 unto it, and worshippethH7812 it, and prayethH6419 unto it, and saithH559, DeliverH5337 me; for thou art my godH410.
They have not knownH3045 nor understoodH995: for he hath shutH2902 their eyesH5869, that they cannot seeH7200; and their heartsH3826, that they cannot understandH7919. {shut: Heb. daubed}
And none considerethH7725 in his heartH3820, neither is there knowledgeH1847 nor understandingH8394 to sayH559, I have burnedH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; yea, also I have bakedH644 breadH3899 upon the coalsH1513 thereof; I have roastedH6740 fleshH1320, and eatenH398 it: and shall I makeH6213 the residueH3499 thereof an abominationH8441? shall I fall downH5456 to the stockH944 of a treeH6086? {considereth…: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock…: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
He feedethH7462 on ashesH665: a deceivedH2048 heartH3820 hath turned him asideH5186, that he cannot deliverH5337 his soulH5315, nor sayH559, Is there not a lieH8267 in my right handH3225?
It shall be also carriedH2986 unto AssyriaH804 for a presentH4503 to kingH4428 JarebH3377: EphraimH669 shall receiveH3947 shameH1317, and IsraelH3478 shall be ashamedH954 of his own counselH6098.
Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676 in piecesH7665, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842, and threw downH5422 the high placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had utterly destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892. {present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until…: Heb. until to make an end}
For the customsH2708 of the peopleH5971 are vainH1892: for one cuttethH3772 a treeH6086 out of the forestH3293, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the workmanH2796, with the axeH4621. {customs…: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}
They deckH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it moveH6328 not.
They are uprightH4749 as the palm treeH8560, but speakH1696 not: they must needsH5375 be borneH5375, because they cannot goH6805. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither also is it in them to do goodH3190.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in mightH1369.
Who would not fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of nationsH1471? for to thee doth it appertainH2969: forasmuch as among all the wiseH2450 men of the nationsH1471, and in all their kingdomsH4438, there is none like unto thee. {to…: or, it liketh thee}
But they are altogetherH259 brutishH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892. {altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}
SilverH3701 spread into platesH7554 is broughtH935 from TarshishH8659, and goldH2091 from UphazH210, the workH4639 of the workmanH2796, and of the handsH3027 of the founderH6884: blueH8504 and purpleH713 is their clothingH3830: they are all the workH4639 of cunningH2450 men.
And I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the housesH1004 of the godsH430 of EgyptH4714; and he shall burnH8313 them, and carry them away captivesH7617: and he shall arrayH5844 himself with the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as a shepherdH7462 putteth onH5844 his garmentH899; and he shall go forthH3318 from thence in peaceH7965.
And so did he in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, and EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, even unto NaphtaliH5321, with their mattocksH2719 round aboutH5439. {mattocks: or, mauls}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 in his knowledgeH1847: every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}
He shall breakH7665 also the imagesH4676 of BethshemeshH1053, that is in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the housesH1004 of the godsH430 of the EgyptiansH4714 shall he burnH8313 with fireH784. {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images} {Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun}
And when he had broken downH5422 the altarsH4196 and the grovesH842, and had beatenH3807 the graven imagesH6456 into powderH1854, and cut downH1438 all the idolsH2553 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {into…: Heb. to make powder}
What profitethH3276 the graven imageH6459 that the makerH3335 thereof hath gravenH6458 it; the molten imageH4541, and a teacherH3384 of liesH8267, that the makerH3335 of his workH3336 trustethH982 therein, to makeH6213 dumbH483 idolsH457? {maker of…: Heb. fashioner of his fashion}
DeclareH5046 ye among the nationsH1471, and publishH8085, and set upH5375 a standardH5251; publishH8085, and concealH3582 not: sayH559, BabylonH894 is takenH3920, BelH1078 is confoundedH3001, MerodachH4781 is broken in piecesH2865; her idolsH6091 are confoundedH3001, her imagesH1544 are broken in piecesH2865. {set up: Heb. lift up}
Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to thinkG3543 that the GodheadG2304 isG1511 likeG3664 unto goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man'sG444 deviceG1761.
MoreoverG2532 ye seeG2334 andG2532 hearG191, thatG3754 notG3756 aloneG3440 at EphesusG2181, butG235 almostG4975 throughout allG3956 AsiaG773, thisG3778 PaulG3972 hath persuadedG3982 and turned awayG3179 muchG2425 peopleG3793, sayingG3004 thatG3754 they beG1526 noG3756 godsG2316, whichG3588 are madeG1096 withG1223 handsG5495:
