Hosea 10:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall [a]fear because of the calf of Beth Aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the [b]Chemarims thereof, that rejoiced on it for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 It shall be also brought to Assyria, for a present unto king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 Of Samaria, the king thereof is destroyed, as the foam upon the water.
