Hosea 10:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 They utter words of vain oaths
when making covenants,[a]
and judgment blossoms like a poisonous plant
on the furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants[b] of Samaria tremble
for the calf[c] of Beth-aven.
Indeed, his people will mourn for it,
and his idolatrous priests will wail[d] over it—
over its glory because it has departed from it.
6 It will also be brought to Assyria,
as tribute to the great king.[e]
Ephraim will obtain disgrace
and Israel will be ashamed from his advice.[f]
