Hosea 10:12-15
New King James Version
Hosea 10:12-15
New King James Version
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
(A)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He (B)comes and rains righteousness on you.
13 (C)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.
14 Therefore tumult shall arise among your people,
And all your fortresses shall be plundered
As Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle—
A mother dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel,
Because of your great wickedness.
At dawn the king of Israel
Shall be cut off utterly.
Hosea 10:12-15
New International Version
Hosea 10:12-15
New International Version
12 Sow(A) righteousness(B) for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(C)
for it is time to seek(D) the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness(E) on you.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(F)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(G)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(H)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
so that all your fortresses will be devastated(I)—
as Shalman(J) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(K)
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.(L)
