Hosea 10:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 The high places also of [a]Aven shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel: the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars, and they shall say to the mountains, (A)Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.
9 O Israel, thou hast [b]sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they [c]stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not [d]touch them.
10 It is my desire [e]that I should chastise them, and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall gather themselves in their two [f]furrows.
