Hosea 10:5

Israel Is Punished

⁴ Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field. ⁵ The people of Samaria will be full of fear because of the ox of Beth-aven; its people will have sorrow for it, and its priests will give cries of grief for its glory, for the glory has gone in flight. ⁶ And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.
