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.

New International Version
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
that loves to thresh;
so I will put a yoke(A)
on her fair neck.
I will drive Ephraim,
Judah must plow,
and Jacob must break up the ground.
12 Sow(B) righteousness(C) for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(D)
for it is time to seek(E) the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness(F) on you.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(G)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(H)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(I)
