Hosea 10:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 Assyria's army will carry the idol away.[a]
It will be a gift to give honour to Assyria's great king.
Ephraim's people will feel ashamed.
They will be sorry that they trusted in their wooden idol.
7 The people of Samaria and their king will come to an end.[b]
They will be like a small stick that water carries away.
8 The wicked altars on the hills will break into pieces.[c]
These are places where Israel's people have done bad things.
Thorn bushes and weeds will grow all over their altars.
Then the people will say to the mountains, ‘Hide us!’
They will say to the hills, ‘Fall on us!’
