Hosea 10:11-13
Christian Standard Bible
11 Ephraim is a well-trained calf(A)
that loves to thresh,
but I will place a yoke on[a] her fine neck.(B)
I will harness Ephraim;(C)
Judah will plow;
Jacob will do the final plowing.
12 Sow righteousness for yourselves(D)
and reap faithful love;
break up your unplowed ground.(E)
It is time to seek the Lord(F)
until he comes(G) and sends righteousness
on you like the rain.(H)
13 You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice;(I)
you have eaten the fruit of lies.(J)
Because you have trusted in your own way[b]
and in your large number of soldiers,(K)
Hosea 10:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.(A)
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.(B)
13 You have plowed wickedness;
you have reaped injustice;
you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your chariots,[a]
in the multitude of your warriors,(C)
