Hosea 10:4-6
Modern English Version
Hosea 10:4-6
Modern English Version
4 They speak mere words,
swearing falsely
in making a covenant.
Thus judgment springs up like a poisonous plant
in the furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria fear
because of the calf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
and its priests shriek for it,
because its glory has departed from it.
6 It will be carried to Assyria
as a tribute to King Jareb.[a]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.[b]
