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!”

Holman 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 depart from them.
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)
