“Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?”
The question about Israel's calf idol at Samaria and the declaration that it will break into pieces suggests that the very idol Israel has constructed to represent divine power will become an object of destruction, powerless to protect itself. The demolition of the idol indicates the futility of placing trust in material representations of false gods. This verse promises that the idols in which Israel has invested will prove utterly useless in the face of judgment.
