Hosea 10:8

Israel Is Punished

⁷ Samaria with his king shall vanish away, as the scum upon the water. ⁸ The high places of Aven, where Israel do sin, shall be cast down: thistles and thorns shall grow upon their altars. Then shall they say to the mountains, "Cover us," and to the hills, "Fall upon us." ⁹ O Israel, thou hast sinned as Gibeah did afore time, where they remained: should not the battle then come upon the wicked children, as well as upon the Gibeonites?
