Hosea 10:11-13
New Living Translation
11 “Israel[a] is like a trained heifer treading out the grain—
an easy job she loves.
But I will put a heavy yoke on her tender neck.
I will force Judah to pull the plow
and Israel[b] to break up the hard ground.
12 I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness,
and you will harvest a crop of love.
Plow up the hard ground of your hearts,
for now is the time to seek the Lord,
that he may come
and shower righteousness upon you.’
13 “But you have cultivated wickedness
and harvested a thriving crop of sins.
You have eaten the fruit of lies—
trusting in your military might,
believing that great armies
could make your nation safe.
Hosea 10:11-13
New International Version
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke(A)
on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
Judah must plow,
and Jacob must break up the ground.
12 Sow(B) righteousness(C) for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(D)
for it is time to seek(E) the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness(F) on you.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(G)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(H)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(I)
