Hosea 10:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will fear
For the [a](A)calf of (B)Beth-aven.
Indeed, its people will mourn for it,
And its (C)idolatrous priests [b]will cry out over it,
Over its (D)glory, since it has left it.
6 The thing itself will be brought to (E)Assyria
As a gift of tribute to [c](F)King Jareb;
Ephraim will [d]be (G)seized with shame,
And Israel will be ashamed of its (H)own plan.
7 Samaria will be (I)destroyed with her king,
Like a twig on the surface of the water.
