The calf is from Israel,
        a person made it;
        it is not God.
    The calf of Samaria will be smashed.
Because they sow the wind,
        they will get the whirlwind.
    Standing grain, but no fresh growth;
        it will yield no meal;
    if it were to yield,
        strangers would devour it.

Israel is swallowed up;
        among the nations, they are now
        like a useless jar.
