Hosea 10

1IsraelH3478 is a luxuriant vineH1612, that putteth forth his fruitH6529: according to the abundanceH7230 of his fruitH6529 he hath multipliedH7235 his altarsH4196; according to the goodness of their landH776 they have madeH3190 goodly pillarsH4676. 2Their heartH3820 is dividedH2505; nowH6258 shall they be found guiltyH816: he will smite their altarsH4196, he will destroyH7703 their pillarsH4676. 3Surely nowH6258 shall they sayH559, We have no kingH4428; for we fearH3372 not Jehovah; and the kingH4428, what can he do for us?

4They speakH1696vainwordsH1697, swearingH422 falsely in makingH3772 covenantsH1285: therefore judgmentH4941 springeth up as hemlock in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7704. 5The inhabitantsH7934 of SamariaH8111 shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the peopleH5971 thereof shall mournH56 over it, and the priestsH3649 thereof that rejoicedH1523 over it, for the gloryH3519 thereof, because it is departed from it. 6It alsoH1571 shall be carried unto AssyriaH804 for a present to kingH4428 JarebH3377: EphraimH669 shall receiveH3947 shameH954, and IsraelH3478 shall be ashamedH954 of his own counselH6098. 7As for SamariaH8111, her kingH4428 is cut off, as foam upon the waterH4325. 8The highH1116 placesH1116 also of Aven, the sinH2403 of IsraelH3478, shall be destroyedH8045: the thornH6975 and the thistleH1863 shall comeH5927 up on their altarsH4196; and they shall sayH559 to the mountainsH2022, CoverH3680 us; and to the hillsH1389, FallH5307 on us.

9O IsraelH3478, thou hast sinnedH2398 from the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: there they stoodH5975; the battleH4421 against the children of iniquity doth not overtakeH5381 them in GibeahH1390. 10When it is my desireH185, I will chastise them; and the peoplesH5971 shall be gatheredH622 against them, when they are boundH631 to their twoH8147 transgressions. 11And EphraimH669 is a heiferH5697 that is taughtH3925, that loveth to tread out the grain; but I have passedH5674 over upon her fair neckH6676: I will set a riderH7392 on EphraimH669; JudahH3063 shall plowH2790, JacobH3290 shall break his clods.

12SowH2232 to yourselves in righteousnessH6666, reapH7114 according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is timeH6256 to seekH1875 Jehovah, till he comeH935 and rain righteousnessH6666 upon you. 13Ye have plowedH2790 wickednessH7562, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eatenH398 the fruitH6529 of lies; for thou didst trustH982 in thy wayH1870, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mightyH1368 menH1368. 14Therefore shall a tumult ariseH6965 among thy peopleH5971, and all thy fortressesH4013 shall be destroyedH7703, as Shalman destroyedH7703 Beth-arbel in the dayH3117 of battleH4421: the motherH517 was dashedH7376 in pieces with her children. 15So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickednessH7451: at daybreak shall the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 be utterly cut off.
