Hosea 10:13-15
Easy-to-Read Version
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. 15 And this will happen to you at Bethel, because you did so many evil things. When that day begins, the king of Israel will be fully destroyed.

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)
