Hosea 10:7

Hosea 10:7

5 The inhabitants of Samaria fear
Because of the ^acalf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
And¹ its priests shriek for it—
Because its ^bglory has departed from it.

6 The idol also shall be carried to Assyria
As a present for King ^aJareb.
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 ^ahigh places of Aven, ^bthe sin of Israel,
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
^cThey shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

9 “O Israel, you have sinned from the days of ^aGibeah;
There they stood.
The ^bbattle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
Did not¹ overtake them.

10 When it is My desire, I will chasten them.
^aPeoples shall be gathered against them
When I bind them¹ for their two transgressions.

11 Ephraim is ^aa trained heifer
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
^aBreak up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He ^bcomes and rains righteousness on you.
