Hosea 10:5-8
Christian Standard Bible
5 The residents of Samaria(A) will have anxiety
over the calf(B) of Beth-aven.(C)
Indeed, its idolatrous priests rejoiced over it;
the people will mourn over it,
over its glory.(D)
It will certainly go into exile.
6 The calf itself will be taken to Assyria(E)
as an offering to the great king.[a](F)
Ephraim will experience shame;(G)
Israel will be ashamed of its counsel.(H)
7 Samaria’s king will disappear[b](I)
like foam[c] on the surface of the water.
8 The high places(J) of Aven, the sin of Israel,(K)
will be destroyed;
thorns and thistles will grow over their altars.(L)
They will say to the mountains,(M) “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us!” (N)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
for the calf[a] of Beth-aven.
Its people shall mourn for it,
and its idolatrous priests shall wail[b] over it,
over its glory that has departed from it.(A)
6 The thing itself shall be carried to Assyria
as tribute to the great king.[c]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.[d](B)
7 Samaria’s king shall perish
like a chip on the face of the waters.(C)
8 The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,
shall be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle shall grow up
on their altars.
They shall say to the mountains, “Cover us,”
and to the hills, “Fall on us.”(D)
