Hosea 10:6-8
New Living Translation
6 This idol will be carted away to Assyria,
a gift to the great king there.
Ephraim will be ridiculed and Israel will be shamed,
because its people have trusted in this idol.
7 Samaria and its king will be cut off;
they will float away like driftwood on an ocean wave.
8 And the pagan shrines of Aven,[a] the place of Israel’s sin, will crumble.
Thorns and thistles will grow up around their altars.
They will beg the mountains, “Bury us!”
and plead with the hills, “Fall on us!”
Hosea 10:6-8
New International Version
6 It will be carried to Assyria(A)
as tribute(B) for the great king.(C)
Ephraim will be disgraced;(D)
Israel will be ashamed(E) of its foreign alliances.
7 Samaria’s king will be destroyed,(F)
swept away like a twig on the surface of the waters.
8 The high places(G) of wickedness[a](H) will be destroyed—
it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns(I) and thistles will grow up
and cover their altars.(J)
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”(K)
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”(L)
