8 Put the trumpet to your mouth!aq
One like an eagle comes
against the house of the Lord,ar
because they transgress my covenantas
and rebel against my law.a
2 Israel cries out to me,b
“My God, we know you!”
3 Israel has rejected what is good;c
an enemy will pursue him.
4 They have installed kings,d
but not through me.
They have appointed leaders,
but without my approval.
They make their silver and golde
into idols for themselves
for their own destruction.A
5 Your calf-idolB,f is rejected, Samaria.g
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?h
6 For this thing is from Israel—
a craftsman made it,i and it is not God.
The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!
7 Indeed, they sow the windj
and reap the whirlwind.k
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.l
Even if they did,
foreigners would swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up!m
Now they are among the nations
like discarded pottery.n
9 For they have gone up to Assyriao
like a wild donkey going off on its own.
Ephraim has paid for love.p
10 Even though they hire lovers among the nations,
I will now round them up,
and they will begin to decrease in numberq
under the burden of the king and leaders.r
11 When Ephraim multiplied his altars for sin,s
they became his altars for sinning.
12 Though I were to write out for him
ten thousand points of my instruction,t
they would beC regarded as something strange.
13 Though they offer sacrificial giftsD,u
and eat the flesh,v
the Lord does not accept them.
Now he will remember their guiltw
and punish their sins;x
they will return to Egypt.y
14 Israel has forgotten his Makerz and built palaces;aa
Judah has also multiplied fortified cities.
I will send fire on their cities,ab
and it will consume their citadels.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
