Hosea 10:11-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ Ephraim is a trained ^(A)heifer that loves to thresh,
But I will ^(B)come over her fair neck with a yoke;
I will harness Ephraim,
Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.
^12 (C)Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with ^[a]kindness;
^(D)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to ^(E)seek the Lord
Until He ^(F)comes to ^[b](G)rain righteousness on you.
¹³ You have ^(H)plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice,
You have eaten the fruit of ^(I)lies.
Because you have trusted in your way, in your ^(J)numerous warriors,
¹⁴ Therefore a tumult will arise among your people,
And all your ^(K)fortresses will be destroyed,
As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
When ^(L)mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
¹⁵ Thus it will be done to you at Bethel because of your great wickedness.
At dawn the king of Israel will be completely cut off.
