Hosea 10:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ They make many false promises.
    They make agreements they don’t keep.
So people sue each other in court.
    They are like poisonous weeds growing in a plowed field.
⁵ The people from Israel are worried about
    the calf-shaped idol at Beth Aven.
The people and the priests will cry
    because their glorious idol is gone.
⁶ It will be carried off as a payment that was demanded
    to the great king of Assyria.
Israel will be disgraced.
    The people will be ashamed of trusting that idol.
