⁵ Your calf is rejected, O Samaria.
    My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?^(A)

⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
    for the calf^[a] of Beth-aven.
Its people shall mourn for it,
    and its idolatrous priests shall wail^[b] over it,
    over its glory that has departed from it.^(A)

²⁷ I have seen your abominations,
    your adulteries and neighings, your shameless prostitutions
    on the hills of the countryside.
Woe to you, O Jerusalem!
    How long will it be
    before you are made clean?^(A)

²² “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
    and fools hate knowledge?^(A)

⁶     For it is from Israel,
an artisan made it;
    it is not God.
The calf of Samaria
    shall be broken to pieces.^(A)

¹⁴ O Jerusalem, wash your heart clean of wickedness
    so that you may be saved.
How long shall your evil schemes
    lodge within you?^(A)

²⁰ Assemble yourselves and come together;
    draw near, you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge—
    those who carry about their wooden idols
and keep on praying to a god
    that cannot save.^(A)
