Hosea 10:5-8
Legacy Standard Bible
5 The dweller of Samaria will fear
For the [a](A)calf of (B)Beth-aven.
Indeed, its people will mourn for it,
And its (C)idolatrous priests [b]will cry out over it,
Over its (D)glory, since it has gone into exile from them.
6 The thing itself will be carried to (E)Assyria
As tribute to [c](F)King Jareb;
Ephraim will (G)receive shame,
And Israel will be ashamed of its (H)own counsel.
7 Samaria will be (I)ruined with her king
Like a stick on the surface of the water.
8 Also the (J)high places of Aven, the (K)sin of Israel, will be [d]eradicated;
(L)Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars;
Then they will (M)say to the mountains,
“Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

Hosea 10:5-8
English Standard Version
5 The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
for (A)the calf[a] of (B)Beth-aven.
Its people mourn for it, and so do its idolatrous priests—
those who rejoiced over it and (C)over its glory—
for it has departed[b] from them.
6 (D)The thing itself shall be carried to Assyria
as tribute to (E)the great king.[c]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
and Israel shall be ashamed (F)of his idol.[d]
7 (G)Samaria's king shall perish
like a twig on the face of the waters.
8 The high places of (H)Aven, (I)the sin of Israel,
shall be destroyed.
(J)Thorn and thistle shall grow up
on their altars,
and (K)they shall say to the mountains, “Cover us,”
and to the hills, “Fall on us.”
