Hosea

Hosea 10:5–6

5The people of Samaria will fear

for the calf of Beth-aven.a

Indeed, its people will mourn over it

with its idolatrous priests —

those who rejoiced in its glory —

for it has been taken from them into exile.

6Yes, it will be carried to Assyria

as tribute to the great king.b

Ephraimc will be seized with shame;

Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.d
