Hosea 10:8 Context
6It shall be also caried vnto Assyria for a present to King Iareb: Ephraim shall receiue shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his owne counsell. 7As for Samaria, her King is cut off as the fome vpon the water. 8The high places also of Auen, the sinne of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorne and the thistle shall come vp on their altars; and they shall say to the mountaines, Couer vs; and to the hilles, Fall on vs. 9O Israel, thou hast sinned from the dayes of Gibeah: there they stood: the battell in Gibeah against the children of iniquitie did not ouertake them. 10It is in my desire that I should chastise them, and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselues in their two furrowes.
