Hosea 10:5-7
The Voice
5 The people of Samaria are afraid of what will happen to the calf-idol of Beth-aven;
the people will mourn for it, and its pagan priests will join in lament.
They’ll wail when its glory departs.
6 The wretched idol will be taken to Assyria and given to the great king.
Ephraim will be disgraced;
Israel will be ashamed because of this king’s counsel.
7 Samaria and her king will be cut off,
carried away like a twig on the swirling waters.

as tribute(F) for the great king.(G)
Ephraim will be disgraced;(H)
Israel will be ashamed(I) of its foreign alliances.

swept away like a twig on the surface of the waters.
