International Standard Version

2 They cry out to me,
    ‘God, we of Israel acknowledge you.’

3 “Israel has discarded what is good.
    The enemy will pursue them.[a]
4 They set kings in place,
    but not by me.
They established princes,
    whom I did not recognize.
They crafted idols for themselves from their silver and gold;
    as a result, they will be destroyed.
