Get rid of your calf-shaped idol, Samaria.
    My anger burns against these people.
        How long will they remain unclean?[a]
Samaria’s calf-shaped idol was made in Israel.
    Skilled workers made it.
        It is not a god.
        It will be smashed to pieces.

“The people of Israel plant the wind, but they harvest a storm.
    A field of grain that doesn’t ripen will never produce any grain.
    Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would eat it all.
