Hosea10:8
8. Aven--that is, Beth-aven.
the sin--that is, the occasion of sin (De 9:21; 1Ki 12:30).
they shall say to ... mountains, Cover us--So terrible shall be the calamity, that men shall prefer death to life (Lu 23:30; Re 6:16; 9:6). Those very hills on which were their idolatrous altars (one source of their confidence, as their "king," Ho 10:7, was the other), so far from helping them, shall be called on by them to overwhelm them.
