Hosea 10:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,
    shall be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle shall grow up
    on their altars.
They shall say to the mountains, Cover us,
    and to the hills, Fall on us.

⁹Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel;
    there they have continued.
    Shall not war overtake them in Gibeah?
¹⁰I will come^[a] against the wayward people to punish them;
    and nations shall be gathered against them
    when they are punished^[b] for their double iniquity.
