Hosea 10:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Samaria and her king will be cut off,
    carried away like a twig on the swirling waters.
⁸ The wicked high places where Israel’s people sinned will be destroyed;
    thorns and thistles will cover their once-proud altars.
People will beg the mountains, “Surround us!”
    They’ll plead with the hills, “Cover us!”^[a]
