In context

5The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of Aven; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.

6And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to King Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.

— Hosea 10:7 —

9From the time the hills existed Israel has sinned: there they stood: war waged against the children of iniquity
