Hosea 10:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria,
as tribute to the great king.^[a]
E′phraim shall be put to shame,
and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.^[b]

⁷Samar′ia’s king shall perish,
    like a chip on the face of the waters.
⁸The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,
    shall be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle shall grow up
    on their altars;
and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us,
    and to the hills, Fall upon us.
