Hosea 10:11-13
New King James Version
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.

American Standard Version
11 And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out the grain; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and [a]rain righteousness upon you. 13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of [b]lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
