Hosea 10:5
Berean Standard Bible
The people of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven.* Indeed, its people will mourn with its idolatrous priests— those who rejoiced in its glory— for it has been taken from them into exile.
Context
3Surely now they will say,
“We have no king,
for we do not revere the LORD.
What can a king do for us?” 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 fear
for the calf of Beth-aven.*
Indeed, its people will mourn
with its idolatrous priests—
those who rejoiced in its glory—
for it has been taken from them into exile. 6Yes, it will be carried to Assyria
as tribute to the great king.*
Ephraim * will be seized with shame;
Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols.* 7Samaria will be carried off with her king
like a twig on the surface of the water.
