10 When I please, I will punish(A) them;
    nations will be gathered against them
    to put them in bonds for their double sin.

    on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
    Judah must plow,
    and Jacob must break up the ground.
12 Sow(C) righteousness(D) for yourselves,
    reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(E)
    for it is time to seek(F) the Lord,
until he comes
    and showers his righteousness(G) on you.
