Hosea 10:7
Berean Standard Bible
Samaria will be carried off with her king like a twig on the surface of the water.
Context
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. 8The high places of Aven * will be destroyed—
it is the sin of Israel;
thorns and thistles will overgrow their altars.
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”* 9Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel,
and there you have remained.
Did not the battle in Gibeah
overtake the sons of iniquity?*
