The thing itself will be brought to (A)Assyria
As a gift of tribute to [a](B)King Jareb;
Ephraim will [b]be (C)seized with shame,
And Israel will be ashamed of its (D)own plan.
Samaria will be (E)destroyed with her king,
Like a twig on the surface of the water.
Also the (F)high places of Aven, the (G)sin of Israel, will be destroyed;
(H)Thorns and thistles will grow on their altars;
Then they will (I)say to the mountains,
“Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
