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.
