Hosea 10:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ They have spoken empty words,
        swearing falsely when making covenants;
    so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds
        in the furrows of the field.
⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria shake
        because of the calf of Beth-aven.
    Its people will mourn over it,
        just as its idolatrous priests who rejoiced over its glory that is now gone.

⁶ To Assyria it will be carried
        as a gift for the great king.
    Ephraim will be put to shame;
        Israel will be ashamed of his own idol.
