Hosea 10:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 You have planted evil,
harvested injustice, and eaten
the fruit of your lies.
You trusted your own strength
and your powerful forces.
14 So war will break out,
and your fortresses
will be destroyed.
Your enemies will do to you
what Shalman[a] did to the people
of Beth-Arbel—
mothers and their children
will be beaten to death
against rocks.
15 Bethel, this will be your fate
because of your evil.
Israel, at dawn your king
will be killed.

Hosea 10:13-15
New International Version
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(A)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(B)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(C)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
so that all your fortresses will be devastated(D)—
as Shalman(E) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(F)
15 So will it happen to you, Bethel,
because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.(G)
