Hosea 10:13-15

New American Standard Bible

¹³You have ^(A)plowed wickedness, you have harvested injustice,
You have eaten the fruit of ^(B)lies.
Because you have trusted in your way, in your ^(C)many warriors,
¹⁴An uproar will arise among your people,
And all your ^(D)fortresses will be destroyed,
As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
When ^(E)mothers were ^[a]slaughtered with their children.
¹⁵So it will be done to you at Bethel because of your great wickedness.
At dawn the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.

Hosea 10:13-15

New Living Translation

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.
¹⁴Now the terrors of war
    will rise among your people.
All your fortifications will fall,
    just as when Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel.
Even mothers and children
    were dashed to death there.
¹⁵You will share that fate, Bethel,
    because of your great wickedness.
When the day of judgment dawns,
    the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.

New International Version

¹³But 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)
¹⁴the 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)
¹⁵So will it happen to you, Bethel,
    because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
    the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.^(G)
