Israel Rejects The Good

5 Your calf is rejected, Samaria; my anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence? 6 Because [it is] from Israel, an artisan made it, it [is] not a god; for the calf of Samaria will be broken [to] pieces. 7 Because they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind. [The] standing grain does not have heads; it will not yield flour. [And] if it would yield, strangers would devour it.
