He has rejected your calf, O Samaria, saying, "My anger burns against them!" How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6

Israel is 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 hired lovers.
