Hosea 10:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² If you plant goodness, you will harvest faithful love. Plow your ground, and you will harvest with the Lord. He will come, and he will make goodness fall on you like rain.

¹³ But you planted evil, and you harvested trouble. You ate the fruit of your lies, because you had trusted in your power and your soldiers. ¹⁴ So your armies will hear the noise of battle, and all your fortresses will be destroyed. It will be like the time Shalman^[a] destroyed Beth Arbel. At that time of war, mothers were killed with their children.
