Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Blow the trumpet to your lips like an eagle over Yahweh's house, because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my law.
2. Israel cries out to me, "My God, we know you!"
3. Israel has cast off the good; the enemy will pursue him.
4. They crowned kings without me and appointed princes I did not know. From their silver and their gold they made idols for themselves, so they would be cut off.
5. Samaria, your calf has rejected you; my anger burns against them. How long will they be unable to attain purity?
6. For from Israel it comes; a craftsman made it, and it is no God, for Samaria's calf shall become fragments.
7. For they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind; it rears no stalk, the bud makes no flour, and even if it does, strangers devour it.
8. Israel has been swallowed up; now they are among the nations like a vessel in which there is no delight.
9. For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers.
10. Even though they hire among the nations, now I will gather them, and they begin to diminish a little because of the burden of the king of princes.
11. For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, they became to him altars to sin.
12. I wrote for him the great abundance of my law, but they were accounted as a strange thing.
13. For the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it, but Yahweh does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; they will return to Egypt.
14. Israel forgot his Maker and built palaces, while Judah multiplied fortified cities; but I will send fire into his cities, and it will devour its palaces.
