Hosea 10:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Samaria and her king will disappear,
like a twig upon the waters.
8 The high places of Aven[a] will be destroyed,
the sin of Israel;
thorns and thistles will overgrow their altars.
Then they will cry out to the mountains, “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall upon us!”(A)
War Because of Israel’s Wickedness
9 Since the days of Gibeah(B)
you have sinned, Israel.
There they took their stand;
will war not reach them in Gibeah?
Against a perverse people
