Hosea 10:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria fear
    because of the calf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
    and its priests shriek for it,
    because its glory has departed from it.
⁶It will be carried to Assyria
    as a tribute to King Jareb.^[a]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
    and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.^[b]
⁷As for Samaria, her king will perish
    like a twig on the water.
