1
Put the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelledagainst My law.
4
They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointedprinces, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have madeidols for themselves, That they might be cutoff.
10
Eventhough they hire allies among the nations, Now I will gather them up; And they will begin to diminishBecause of the burden of the king of princes.
13
As for My sacrificialgifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But the LORD has takennodelight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.
14
For Israel has forgotten his Maker and builtpalaces; And Judah has multipliedfortifiedcities, But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatialdwellings.
