Hosea 10:9-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel;
there they have continued.
Shall not war overtake them in Gibeah?(A)
10 I will come[a] against the wayward people to punish them,
and nations shall be gathered against them
when they are punished[b] for their double iniquity.(B)
11 Ephraim was a trained heifer
that loved to thresh,
and I spared her fair neck,
but I will make Ephraim break the ground;
Judah must plow;
Jacob must harrow for himself.(C)
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
reap steadfast love;
break up your fallow ground,
for it is time to seek the Lord,
that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.(D)
13 You have plowed wickedness;
you have reaped injustice;
you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your chariots,[c]
in the multitude of your warriors,(E)
14 therefore the tumult of war shall rise against your people,
and all your fortresses shall be destroyed,
as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.(F)
15 Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel,
because of your great wickedness.
At dawn the king of Israel
shall be utterly cut off.(G)

Hosea 10:9-15
New International Version
9 “Since the days of Gibeah,(A) you have sinned,(B) Israel,
and there you have remained.[a]
Will not war again overtake
the evildoers in Gibeah?
10 When I please, I will punish(C) them;
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bonds for their double sin.
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke(D)
on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
Judah must plow,
and Jacob must break up the ground.
12 Sow(E) righteousness(F) for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(G)
for it is time to seek(H) the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness(I) on you.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(J)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(K)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(L)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
so that all your fortresses will be devastated(M)—
as Shalman(N) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(O)
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.(P)
