The high places of Aven,
    the sin of Israel, will be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle will grow
    on their altars.
They will say to the mountains, “Cover us,”
    and to the hills, “Fall on us.”
From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel;
    there they have remained.[a]
Will not war in Gibeah overtake them
    against the children of evil?
10     In my desire[b] I will punish them;
nations will be gathered against them
    when they are punished for their double iniquities.[c]
