As the house of Israel (B)was ashamed of (C)Bethel, their confidence.
Hosea 8:5-6
New King James Version
5 Your [a]calf [b]is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
(A)How long until they attain to innocence?
6 For from Israel is even this:
A (B)workman made it, and it is not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
Jeremiah 48:39

‘How she is broken down!
How Moab has turned her back with shame!’
So Moab shall be a derision
And a dismay to all those about her.”

And also disgraced, all of them;
They shall go in confusion together,
Who are makers of idols.

Amos 5:5-6
New King James Version
5 But do not seek (A)Bethel,
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to (B)Beersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And (C)Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 (D)Seek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—
Hosea 10:14-15
New King James Version
14 Therefore tumult shall arise among your people,
And all your fortresses shall be plundered
As Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle—
A mother dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel,
Because of your great wickedness.
At dawn the king of Israel
Shall be cut off utterly.
Hosea 10:5-6
New King James Version
5 The inhabitants of Samaria fear
Because of the (A)calf[a] of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
And [b]its priests shriek for it—
Because its (B)glory has departed from it.
6 The idol also shall be carried to Assyria
As a present for King (C)Jareb.
Ephraim shall receive shame,
And Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

They could not deliver the burden,
(C)But have themselves gone into captivity.

And his idols of gold,

1 Kings 18:26-29
New King James Version
26 So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, [a]hear us!” But there was (A)no voice; no one answered. Then they [b]leaped about the altar which they had made.
27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry [c]aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” 28 So they cried aloud, and (B)cut themselves, as was their custom, with [d]knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them. 29 And when midday was past, (C)they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was (D)no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.

New King James Version
3 And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, (A)fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and (B)set it in its place again. 4 And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. (C)The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only [a]Dagon’s torso was left of it. 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house (D)tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 But the (E)hand of the Lord was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He (F)ravaged them and struck them with (G)tumors,[b] both Ashdod and its (H)territory. 7 And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, “The ark of the (I)God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god.”
