Israel’s Apostasy

Set the trumpet to your lips!
    One like a vulture[a] is over the house of the Lord,
because they have broken my covenant
    and transgressed my law.(A)
They cry to me,
    “My God, we know you!”[b](B)
Israel has spurned the good;
    the enemy shall pursue him.

Israel Rejects the Good

Put to your lips the trumpet
like a vulture over the house of Yahweh,
because they have broken my covenant[a]
    and rebelled against my law.
They cry out to me,
    “My God! We, Israel, know you!”
Israel has spurned the good;
    the enemy will pursue him.
