The high places(A) of Aven, the sin of Israel,(B)
will be destroyed;
thorns and thistles will grow over their altars.(C)
They will say to the mountains,(D) “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”(E)

Israel’s Defeat because of Sin

Israel, you have sinned
since the days of Gibeah;(F)
they have taken their stand there.
Will not war against the unjust
overtake them in Gibeah?
10 I will discipline(G) them at My discretion;(H)
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bondage[a]
for their two crimes.(I)
