Hosea 10:9-15

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

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 desire, I will discipline them;

And the peoples will be gathered against them

When they are bound for their double guilt.

11Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh,

And I passed over her lovely neck;

I will harness Ephraim,

Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.

12Sow for yourselves, with a view to righteousness;

Harvest in accordance with kindness.

Break up your uncultivated ground,

For it is time to seek the Lord

Until He comes and rains righteousness on you.

13You have plowed wickedness, you have harvested injustice,

You have eaten the fruit of lies.

Because you have trusted in your way, in your many warriors,

14An uproar will arise among your people,

And all your fortresses will be destroyed,

As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,

When mothers were slaughtered 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.
