Living Bible
Hosea 10:5-7
Living Bible
5 The people of Samaria tremble lest their calf idol at Beth-aven should be hurt; the priests and people, too, mourn over the departed honor of their shattered gods. 6 This idol—this calf-god thing—will be carted with them when they go as slaves to Assyria, a present to the great king there. Ephraim will be laughed at for trusting in this idol; Israel will be put to shame. 7 As for Samaria, her king shall disappear like a chip of wood upon an ocean wave.

Hosea 10:5-7
New International Version
5 The people who live in Samaria fear
for the calf-idol(A) of Beth Aven.[a](B)
Its people will mourn over it,
and so will its idolatrous priests,(C)
those who had rejoiced over its splendor,
because it is taken from them into exile.(D)
6 It will be carried to Assyria(E)
as tribute(F) for the great king.(G)
Ephraim will be disgraced;(H)
Israel will be ashamed(I) of its foreign alliances.
7 Samaria’s king will be destroyed,(J)
swept away like a twig on the surface of the waters.
