The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
    for (A)the calf[a] of (B)Beth-aven.
Its people mourn for it, and so do its idolatrous priests—
    those who rejoiced over it and (C)over its glory—
    for it has departed[b] from them.
(D)The thing itself shall be carried to Assyria
    as tribute to (E)the great king.[c]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
    and Israel shall be ashamed (F)of his idol.[d]
