Hosea 10:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 The people from Samaria worship the calves at Beth Aven.[a] They will cry. The priests will cry, because their beautiful idol is gone. It was carried away. 6 It was carried away as a gift to the great king of Assyria. He will keep Ephraim’s shameful idol. Israel will be ashamed of its idol.[b] 7 Samaria’s false god[c] will be destroyed. It will be like a piece of wood floating away on the water’s surface.
