Shame and punishment

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.
Samaria will be cut off;
        her king is like a chip of wood on the surface of the water.
The sin of Israel, the shrines of Aven
        will be torn down.
    Thorn and thistle will sprout up
        on their altars.
    They will say to the mountains, “Cover us,”
        to the hills, “Fall on us.”
