ASV
Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.
5
He has rejected your calf, Samaria, saying,
“My anger burns against them!”
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6
For from Israel comes even this!
A craftsman made it, so it is not God;
Assuredly, the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
7
For they sow wind
And they harvest a storm.
The standing grain has no kernels;
It yields no grain.
If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it.
8
Israel has been swallowed up;
They are now among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one delights.
9
For they have gone up to Assyria,
Like a wild donkey all alone;
Ephraim has paid fees for lovers.
10
Even though they pay for allies among the nations,
I will gather them up now;
And they will begin to diminish
Because of the burden of the king of officials.
