Hosea 10:5–6

5  The inhabitants of Samaria tremble

for the calf1 of fBeth-aven.

Its people mourn for it, and so do its gidolatrous priests—

those who rejoiced over it and over its glory—

for it has departed2 from them.

6  The thing itself shall be carried to Assyria

as tribute to the hgreat king.3

Ephraim shall be put to shame,

and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.4


1 Kings 12:28

28 So the king took counsel and made two ucalves of gold. And he said to the people, “You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. vBehold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
