Israel Harvests the Whirlwind

“Sound the alarm!
    The enemy descends like an eagle on the people of the Lord,
for they have broken my covenant
    and revolted against my law.
Now Israel pleads with me,
    ‘Help us, for you are our God!’

    and now their enemies will chase after them.

    “My God! We, Israel, know you!”
Israel has spurned the good;
    the enemy will pursue him.
