This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Aven - that is, Beth-aven.
the sin - that is, the occasion of sin (Deu 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 (Luk 23:30; Rev 6:16; Rev 9:6). Those very hills on which were their idolatrous altars (one source of their confidence, as their “king,” Hos 10:7, was the other), so far from helping them, shall be called on by them to overwhelm them.
