Hosea 10:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Of Samaria, the king thereof is destroyed, as the foam upon the water.
8 The high places also of [a]Aven shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel: the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars, and they shall say to the mountains, (A)Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.
9 O Israel, thou hast [b]sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they [c]stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not [d]touch them.
