Hosea 10:5 - 10:8

The dweller of Samaria will fear

For the calf of Beth‑aven.

Indeed, its people will mourn for it,

And its idolatrous priests will cry out over it,

Over its glory, since it has gone into exile from them.

The thing itself will be carried to Assyria

As tribute to King Jareb;

Ephraim will receive shame,

And Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel.

Samaria will be ruined with her king

Like a stick on the surface of the water.

Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be eradicated;

Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars;

Then they will say to the mountains,

“Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
