Hosea 10

²Their heart is divided.

³Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD;

⁴They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants.

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven,

⁶It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king.

⁷Samaria and her king float away

⁸The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed.

⁹“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah.

¹⁰When it is my desire, I will chastise them;

¹¹Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh,

¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness,

¹³You have plowed wickedness.

¹⁴Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people,

¹⁵So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness.
