Hosea 10:9-15

9From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel; There they stand! Will not the battle against the sons of iniquity overtake them in Gibeah?10When it is My 1desire, I will 2 3chastise them; And 4the peoples will be gathered against them When they are bound for their double guilt.

11Ephraim is a trained 5heifer that loves to thresh, But I will 6come over her fair neck with a yoke; I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.12 7Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with 8kindness; 9Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to 10seek the Lord Until He 11comes to 12 13rain righteousness on you.13You have 14plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, You have eaten the fruit of 15lies. Because you have trusted in your way, in your 16numerous warriors,14Therefore a tumult will arise among your people, And all your 17fortresses will be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle, When 18mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.15Thus it will be done to you at Bethel because of your great wickedness. At dawn the king of Israel will be completely cut off.
