(A)I have[a] spurned your calf, O Samaria.
    My anger burns against them.
(B)How long will they be incapable of innocence?
For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
    it is not God.
(C)The calf of Samaria
    (D)shall be broken to pieces.[b]

For (E)they sow the wind,
    and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
    it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
    (F)strangers would devour it.
