Hosea 10:8
Aven—that is, Beth-aven.
the sin—that is, the occasion of sin (Deuteronomy 9:21; I Kings 12:30).
they shall say to . . . mountains, Cover us—So terrible shall be the calamity, that men shall prefer death to life (Luke 23:30; Revelation 6:16; Revelation 9:6). Those very hills on which were their idolatrous altars (one source of their confidence, as their "king," Hosea 10:7, was the other), so far from helping them, shall be called on by them to overwhelm them.
