Hosea 10:11-15

New International Version

¹¹ Ephraim is a trained heifer
    that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke^(A)
    on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
    Judah must plow,
    and Jacob must break up the ground.
¹² Sow^(B) righteousness^(C) for yourselves,
    reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;^(D)
    for it is time to seek^(E) the Lord,
until he comes
    and showers his righteousness^(F) on you.
¹³ But you have planted wickedness,
    you have reaped evil,^(G)
    you have eaten the fruit of deception.^(H)
Because you have depended on your own strength
    and on your many warriors,^(I)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
    so that all your fortresses will be devastated^(J)—
as Shalman^(K) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
    when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.^(L)
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.^(M)
