Hosea 10:8
The Message
Hosea 10:8
The Message
7-8 Samaria is history. Its king
is a dead branch floating down the river.
Israel’s favorite sin centers
will all be torn down.
Thistles and crabgrass
will decorate their ruined altars.
Then they’ll say to the mountains, “Bury us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
Hosea 10:8
New King James Version

And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
