28:009:016 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
28:009:017 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
28:010:001 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
28:010:002 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
28:010:003 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
28:010:004 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
28:010:005 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
28:010:006 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
28:010:007 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
28:010:008 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
