Hosea 10:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 But instead, you have planted evil things.
So your harvest is terrible trouble.
The food that you eat comes from your lies.
You trusted in your own strength to save you.
You thought that your strong army would keep you safe.
14 So you will soon hear the noise of war.
Enemies will destroy all your strong buildings.
It will be like the time that King Shalman's army destroyed Beth Arbel.[a]
In that battle, cruel soldiers killed mothers together with their children.
15 The same thing will happen to you, people of Bethel,
because of the wicked things that you have done.[b]
When the day of your punishment arrives,
the king of Israel will surely die.’

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)
