Hosea 10:9-15

9Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned, Israel; There they stand! Will the battle against the sons of injustice not overtake them in Gibeah?10When it is My 1desire, I will 2 3discipline 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, 6And I 7passed over her lovely neck; I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, Jacob will 8harrow for himself.12 9Sow for yourselves, with a view to righteousness; Harvest in accordance with 10kindness. 11Break up your uncultivated ground, For it is time to 12seek the Lord Until He 13comes and 14rains righteousness on you.13You have 15plowed wickedness, you have harvested injustice, You have eaten the fruit of 16lies. Because you have trusted in your way, in your 17many warriors,14An uproar will arise among your people, And all your 18fortresses will be destroyed, As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle, When 19mothers were 20slaughtered with their children.15So it will be done to you at Bethel because of your great wickedness. At dawn the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.
