Young's Literal Translation
Hosea 10:4-6
Young's Literal Translation
4 They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a field.
5 For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria, Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for it hath removed from it,
6 Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king, Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own counsel.

Hosea 10:4-6
New International Version
4 They make many promises,
take false oaths(A)
and make agreements;(B)
therefore lawsuits spring up
like poisonous weeds(C) in a plowed field.
5 The people who live in Samaria fear
for the calf-idol(D) of Beth Aven.[a](E)
Its people will mourn over it,
and so will its idolatrous priests,(F)
those who had rejoiced over its splendor,
because it is taken from them into exile.(G)
6 It will be carried to Assyria(H)
as tribute(I) for the great king.(J)
Ephraim will be disgraced;(K)
Israel will be ashamed(L) of its foreign alliances.
