12 (A)Sow for yourselves righteousness;
    reap steadfast love;
    (B)break up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
    that he may come and (C)rain righteousness upon you.

13 (D)You have plowed iniquity;
    you have reaped injustice;
    you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your own way
    and in the multitude of your warriors,
14 therefore (E)the tumult of war shall arise among your people,
    and all your fortresses shall be destroyed,
as (F)Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle;
    (G)mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
