³ But Israel has rejected what is good;
    an enemy will pursue him.^(A)
4 They set up kings without my consent;
    they choose princes without my approval.^(B)
With their silver and gold
    they make idols^(C) for themselves
    to their own destruction.
⁵ Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!^(D)
    My anger burns against them.

6     They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
    it is not God.^(F)
It will be broken in pieces,
    that calf^(G) of Samaria.^(H)
