Hosea 10:4-6
International Standard Version

4 Their word is falsely given
    as they make their agreements;[a]
so judgment springs up
    like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.[b]

5 “The residents of Samaria will be terrified
    because of the cows[c] of Beth-aven.
Its people will mourn over Beth-aven,[d]
    along with the priests who will mourn its glory,
        because that glory has departed.[e]
6 Indeed, that glory[f] will be carried to Assyria—
    it will become a present for an avenging king.[g]
Ephraim will be disgraced,
    and Israel will become ashamed of its decision.
