Hosea 10:8-10
New International Version - UK
8 The high places of wickedness[a] will be destroyed –
it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns and thistles will grow up
and cover their altars.
Then they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us!’
and to the hills, ‘Fall on us!’
9 ‘Since the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, Israel,
and there you have remained.[b]
Will not war again overtake
the evildoers in Gibeah?
10 When I please, I will punish them;
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bonds for their double sin.
