I have[a] spurned your calf, O Samar′ia.
    My anger burns against them.
How long will it be
    till they are pure in Israel?[b]

A workman made it;
    it is not God.
The calf of Samar′ia
    shall be broken to pieces.[c]

For they sow the wind,
    and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads,
    it shall yield no meal;
if it were to yield,
    aliens would devour it.
