Hosea 10:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Ephraim was a trained heifer,
that loved to thresh grain,
and I myself spared[a]
the fairness of her neck;
I will make Ephraim break the ground,
Judah will plow,
Jacob must till for himself.
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
reap loyal love.[b]
Break up for yourself fallow ground;
it is time to seek Yahweh
so he will come and rain
righteousness upon you.
13 You have plowed wickedness,
you have reaped injustice,
you have eaten the fruit of lies,[c]
because you have trusted in your strength,
in the multitude of your warriors.
