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.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 10 of Hosea. The inhabitants of Samaria fear for the calf of Beth-aven when political power enters crisis. The image will be carried away as tribute and the priests will be ashamed. The prophet announces that the high places will be destroyed and that the people will desire to hide from the divine presence. What appeared to be an object of religious trust becomes a source of shame.

Die Einwohner zu Samaria sorgen um das Kalb zu Beth-Aven; denn sein Volk trauert darum, und seine Götzenpfaffen zittern seiner Herrlichkeit halben; denn sie wird von ihnen weggeführt.
Por las becerras de Beth-aven serán atemorizados los moradores de Samaria: porque su pueblo lamentará a causa del becerro, y sus sacerdotes que en él se regocijaban por su gloria, la cual será disipada.
Por las becerras de Bet-avén tiemblan los habitantes de Samaria, pues su pueblo hará duelo por él; y sus sacerdotes idólatras, que se regocijaban por él, harán duelo por su gloria, porque ha partido de él.
Les habitants de Samarie seront consternés au sujet des veaux de Beth-Aven; Le peuple mènera deuil sur l'idole, Et ses prêtres trembleront pour elle, Pour sa gloire, qui va disparaître du milieu d'eux.
Gli abitanti di Samaria saranno spaventati per le vitelle di Bet-aven; perciocchè il popolo del vitello farà cordoglio di esso; e i suoi Camari, che solevano festeggiar d’esso, faranno cordoglio della sua gloria; perciocchè si sarà dipartita da lui.
Os moradores de Samaria serão atemorizados pelo bezerro de Bete-Áven; porque o seu povo se lamentará por causa dele, como também os seus sacerdotes idólatras que nele regozijavam, por causa da sua glória, que se apartou dela.
撒瑪利亞 的居民必因 伯‧亞文 的牛犢驚恐; 它的百姓為它悲哀, 它的祭司為它戰兢, 因為榮耀已經離開它。
