HO-10:1 Israel [is] an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto
himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath
increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they
have made goodly images.
HO-10:2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty:
he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
HO-10:3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we
feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
HO-10:4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a
covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows
of the field.
HO-10:5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the
calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it,
and the priests thereof [that] rejoiced on it, for the glory
thereof, because it is departed from it.
HO-10:6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria [for] a present to
king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be
ashamed of his own counsel.
HO-10:7 [As for] Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon
the water.
HO-10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall
be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their
altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to
the hills, Fall on us.
HO-10:9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah:
there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of
iniquity did not overtake them.
HO-10:10 [It is] in my desire that I should chastise them; and
the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind
themselves in their two furrows.
HO-10:11 And Ephraim [is as] an heifer [that is] taught, [and]
loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I passed over upon her fair
neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, [and] Jacob
shall break his clods.
HO-10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy;
break up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD,
till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
HO-10:13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye
have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy
way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
HO-10:14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and
all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled
Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces
upon [her] children.
HO-10:15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great
wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut
off.
