ESVEnglish Standard Version

I have spurned your calf, O Samaria.

My anger burns against them.

How long will they be incapable of innocence?

For it is from Israel;

a craftsman made it;

it is not God.

The calf of Samaria

shall be broken to pieces.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!

My anger burns against them.

How long will they be incapable of purity?

They are from Israel!

This calf—a metalworker has made it;

it is not God.

It will be broken in pieces,

that calf of Samaria.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Your calf-idol is rejected, Samaria.

My anger burns against them.

How long will they be incapable of innocence?

For this thing is from Israel—

a craftsman made it, and it is not God.

The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!

NLTNew Living Translation

“O Samaria, I reject this calf—

this idol you have made.

My fury burns against you.

How long will you be incapable of innocence?

This calf you worship, O Israel,

was crafted by your own hands!

It is not God!

Therefore, it must be smashed to bits.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Your calf is rejected, O Samaria;

my anger burns against them.

How long will they be incapable of innocence?

Because it is from Israel,

an artisan made it,

it is not a god;

for the calf of Samaria

will be broken to pieces.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off;

Mine anger is kindled against them:

How long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

For from Israel was it also:

The workman made it; therefore it is not God:

But the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
