Israel is a emptie vine, yet hath it brought foorth fruite vnto it selfe, and according to the multitude of the fruite thereof he hath increased the according to the goodnesse of their lande they haue made faire images.
2
Their heart is nowe shall they be founde he shall breake downe their he shall destroy their images.

For now they shall say, We haue no King because we feared not the and what should a King doe to vs?

5
The inhabitants of Samaria shall feare because of the calfe of Beth-for the people thereof shall mourne ouer it, and the Chemarims thereof, that reioyced on it for the glorie thereof, because it is departed from it.

Of Samaria, the King thereof is destroyed as the some vpon the water.
8

15
So shall Beth-el doe vnto you, because of your malicious in a morning shall the King of Israel be destroied.
