Hosea 10:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Samar′ia’s king shall perish,
    like a chip on the face of the waters.
⁸ The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,
    shall be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle shall grow up
    on their altars;
and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us,
    and to the hills, Fall upon us.

⁹ From the days of Gib′e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel;
    there they have continued.
    Shall not war overtake them in Gib′e-ah?
