1Yahweh said to me, “Blow [MTY] your trumpet
2My Israeli people cry out to me,
3But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good,
4The Israel people appointed their last three kings,
5You people of Samaria, throw away your idol that resembles a calf!
6Someone in Israel made that idol for you;
7The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like [MET] trying to plant wind;
8The people of Israel will be defeated [MET] by their enemies;
9Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates,
10But although they have agreed to pay money each year to the leaders of those countries,
11Although the people of Israel built many altars to present offerings to their idols to take away their guilt for sinning,
12I wrote many laws for them,
13They offer sacrifices to me,
14The people of Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their nation;
