8:5 O Samaria, he has rejected your calf idol!
My anger burns against them!
They will not survive much longer without being punished,
even though they are Israelites!
8:6 That idol was made by a workman – it is not God!
The calf idol of Samaria will be broken to bits.
10:5 The inhabitants
Its people will mourn over it;
its idolatrous priests will wail
because its splendor will be taken from them
10:6 Even the calf idol
as tribute for the great king.
Ephraim will be disgraced;
Israel will be put to shame because
10:14 The roar of battle will rise against your people;
all your fortresses will be devastated,
just as Shalman devastated
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.
10:15 So will it happen to you, O Bethel,
because of your great wickedness!
When that day dawns,
the king of Israel will be destroyed.
5:5 Do not seek Bethel!
Do not visit Gilgal!
Do not journey down
For the people of Gilgal
and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds.”
5:6 Seek the Lord so you can live!
Otherwise he will break out
the fire
and no one will be able to quench it and save Bethel.
