Hosea 10:6

Verse 6

‘It also will be carried to Assyria,

For a present to the great king.

The ignominy of the idol’s situation is stressed. It will be carried to Assyria, no doubt on the back of a donkey (compare the Babylonian gods so graphically carried off by Assyria in Isaiah 46:1-2). And it will be given as a present to the Great King. Such is to be its ignominious fate.
