Hosea 10:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵The inhabitants of Samar′ia tremble
    for the calf^[a] of Beth-a′ven.
Its people shall mourn for it,
    and its idolatrous priests shall wail^[b] over it,
    over its glory which has departed from it.
⁶Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria,
    as tribute to the great king.^[c]
E′phraim shall be put to shame,
    and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.^[d]

⁷Samar′ia’s king shall perish,
like a chip on the face of the waters.
