Hosea 10:5-8
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.
7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off
Like a twig on the water.
8 Also the (D)high places of [c]Aven, (E)the sin of Israel,
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
(F)They shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

American Standard Version
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and [a]the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. 6 It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. 7 [b]As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as [c]foam upon the water. 8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
