Berean Standard Bible

Hosea 10:4-6

4They speak mere words; with false oaths they make covenants. So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.

5The people of Samaria will fearfor the calf of Beth-aven.1Indeed, its people will mourn over itwith its idolatrous priests—those who rejoiced in its glory—for it has been taken from them into exile.6Yes, it will be carried to Assyriaas tribute to the great king.2Ephraim3 will be seized with shame;Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.4
