Hos 10:8 | CPDV | STEP | And the heights of the idol, the sin of Israel, will be utterly destroyed. The burr and the thistle will rise up over their altars. And they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’

Hosea 10:8

8 And the heights of the idol, the sin of Israel, will be utterly destroyed. The burr and the thistle will rise up over their altars. And they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’ ^{▼▼10:8The word ‘cadite’ also means to die, so there is an implication that the people want the hills to kill them, not to protect them.(Conte)}
