Israel Rejects the Lord

The Lord said:

8 Sound a warning!
Israel, you broke our agreement
    and ignored my teaching.
Now an eagle[a] is swooping down
    to attack my land.
2 Israel, you say, “We claim you,
    the Lord, as our God.”
3 But your enemies
will chase you for rejecting
    our good agreement.[b]
