11 Ephraim is (A)a trained heifer
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim [a]pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
(B)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He (C)comes and rains righteousness on you.

13 (D)You have plowed wickedness;
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
Because you trusted in your own way,
In the multitude of your mighty men.

  1. Hosea 10:11 Lit. to ride

11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught,
and loveth to tread out the corn;
but I passed over upon her fair neck:
I will make Ephraim to ride;
Judah shall plow,
and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy;
break up your fallow ground:
for it is time to seek the Lord,
till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13 Ye have plowed wickedness,
ye have reaped iniquity;
ye have eaten the fruit of lies:
because thou didst trust in thy way,
in the multitude of thy mighty men.
