Hosea 10:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ It also will be carried to Assyria
    as tribute to a warring king.
Ephraim will receive shame
    and Israel will be put to shame by its own counsel.
⁷ Samaria is being cut off.
Her king is like a splinter on the surface of the water.
⁸ The high places of Aven,
the sin of Israel will be destroyed.
Thorns and thistles will come up on their altars.
And they will say to the mountains: “Cover us!”
And to the hills: “Fall on us!”^[a]
