The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

Samaria’s king will be destroyed,(A)
    swept away like a twig on the surface of the waters.
The high places(B) of wickedness[a](C) will be destroyed—
    it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns(D) and thistles will grow up
    and cover their altars.(E)
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”(F)
    and to the hills, “Fall on us!”(G)

“Since the days of Gibeah,(H) you have sinned,(I) Israel,
    and there you have remained.[b]
Will not war again overtake
    the evildoers in Gibeah?
