Hosea 10:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making [a]a covenant: thus [b]judgment groweth as wormwood in the furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall [c]fear because of the calf of Beth Aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the [d]Chemarims thereof, that rejoiced on it for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 It shall be also brought to Assyria, for a present unto king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

Hosea 10:4-6
New International Version
4 They make many promises,
take false oaths(A)
and make agreements;(B)
therefore lawsuits spring up
like poisonous weeds(C) in a plowed field.
5 The people who live in Samaria fear
for the calf-idol(D) of Beth Aven.[a](E)
Its people will mourn over it,
and so will its idolatrous priests,(F)
those who had rejoiced over its splendor,
because it is taken from them into exile.(G)
6 It will be carried to Assyria(H)
as tribute(I) for the great king.(J)
Ephraim will be disgraced;(K)
Israel will be ashamed(L) of its foreign alliances.
