Hosea

Chapter 10

1 Israel3478 is an empty1238 vine,1612 he bringeth forth7737 fruit6529 unto himself: according to the multitude7230 of his fruit6529 he hath increased7235 the altars;4196 according to the goodness2896 of his land776 they have made goodly3190 images.4676

2 Their heart3820 is divided;2505 now6258 shall they be found faulty:816 he1931 shall break down6202 their altars,4196 he shall spoil7703 their images.4676

3 For3588 now6258 they shall say,559 We have no369 king,4428 because3588 we feared3372 not3808 853 the LORD;3068 what4100 then should a king4428 do6213 to us?

4 They have spoken1696 words,1697 swearing422 falsely7723 in making3772 a covenant:1285 thus judgment4941 springeth up6524 as hemlock7219 in5921 the furrows8525 of the field.7704

5 The inhabitants7934 of Samaria8111 shall fear1481 because of the calves5697 of Beth-aven:1007 for3588 the people5971 thereof shall mourn56 over5921 it, and the priests3649 thereof that rejoiced1523 on5921 it, for5921 the glory3519 thereof, because3588 it is departed1540 from4480 it.

6 It shall be also1571 carried2986 unto Assyria804 for a present4503 to king4428 Jareb:3377 Ephraim669 shall receive3947 shame,1317 and Israel3478 shall be ashamed954 of his own counsel.4480 6098

7 As for Samaria,8111 her king4428 is cut off1820 as the foam7110 upon5921 6440 the water.4325

8 The high places1116 also of Aven,206 the sin2403 of Israel,3478 shall be destroyed:8045 the thorn6975 and the thistle1863 shall come up5927 on5921 their altars;4196 and they shall say559 to the mountains,2022 Cover3680 us; and to the hills,1389 Fall5307 on5921 us.

9 O Israel,3478 thou hast sinned2398 from the days4480 3117 of Gibeah:1390 there8033 they stood:5975 the battle4421 in Gibeah1390 against5921 the children1121 of iniquity5932 did not3808 overtake5381 them.

10 It is in my desire185 that I should chastise3256 them; and the people5971 shall be gathered622 against5921 them, when they shall bind631 themselves in their two8147 furrows.5869

11 And Ephraim669 is as a heifer5697 that is taught,3925 and loveth157 to tread out1758 the corn; but I589 passed over5674 upon5921 her fair2898 neck:6677 I will make Ephraim669 to ride;7392 Judah3063 shall plow,2790 and Jacob3290 shall break his clods.7702

12 Sow2232 to yourselves in righteousness,6666 reap7114 in6310 mercy;2617 break up5214 your fallow ground:5215 for it is time6256 to seek1875 853 the LORD,3068 till5704 he come935 and rain3384 righteousness6664 upon you.

13 Ye have plowed2790 wickedness,7562 ye have reaped7114 iniquity;5766 ye have eaten398 the fruit6529 of lies:3585 because3588 thou didst trust982 in thy way,1870 in the multitude7230 of thy mighty men.1368

14 Therefore shall a tumult7588 arise6965 among thy people,5971 and all3605 thy fortresses4013 shall be spoiled,7703 as Shalman8020 spoiled7701 Beth-arbel1009 in the day3117 of battle:4421 the mother517 was dashed in pieces7376 upon5921 her children.1121

15 So3602 shall Bethel1008 do6213 unto you because4480 6440 of your great wickedness:7451 7451 in a morning7837 shall the king4428 of Israel3478 utterly be cut off.1820 1820

Hosea

Chapter 10

1 ISRAEL is a vine full of branches that brings forth its fruit; according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have built shrines.

2 Their heart is wavering; and from now they shall be condemned; he shall demolish their altars; he shall plunder their shrines.

3 For from now they shall say, We have no king because we feared not the LORD; what then can a king do for us?

4 They have spoken words belonging to false altars; they have broken the covenant and paid the penalty; they are like briers in a barren field.

5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall sojourn to the shrine of the calf of Beth-aon; for they sat down mourning over it together with its priests; they shall rejoice over it, and over its glory because it is departed from it.

6 Even the idol itself shall be also carried to Assyria for a present to the great king; Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

7 Samaria has cast away her king like a chip on the face of the water.

8 The high places of the idol of Aon, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed; thorns and thistles shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

9 O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Ramtha; there they shall remain, and the battle in Ramtha against the children of iniquity shall not overtake them.

10 In my rebuke I will chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall be chastised for their two follies.

11 Ephraim is like a heifer that is trained, and loves to tread out the wheat; but I bent her neck under the yoke; I will make Ephraim to be ridden upon, I will cause Judah to tread wheat, and Jacob shall be plundered.

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness, and reap a harvest of mercy; light a lamp for yourselves; for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and reveal his righteousness to you.

13 You have plowed sin and wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your ways, and in the multitude of your mighty men;

14 Therefore destruction shall come upon your people, and all your provinces shall be despoiled as plunder is divided when peace is concluded, even from Beth-el as far as the northern border; in the day of the battle the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

15 So they did to you, O Beth-el, because of your great wickedness; in a morning was the king of Israel confounded and ashamed.

4 They have spoken words belonging to false altars; they have broken the covenant and paid the penalty; they are like briers in a barren field.

7 Samaria has cast away her king like a chip on the face of the water.

8 The high places1116 also of Aven,206 the sin2403 of Israel,3478 shall be destroyed:8045 the thorn6975 and the thistle1863 shall come up5927 on5921 their altars;4196 and they shall say559 to the mountains,2022 Cover3680 us; and to the hills,1389 Fall5307 on5921 us.

8 The high places of the idol of Aon, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed; thorns and thistles shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

9 O Israel,3478 thou hast sinned2398 from the days4480 3117 of Gibeah:1390 there8033 they stood:5975 the battle4421 in Gibeah1390 against5921 the children1121 of iniquity5932 did not3808 overtake5381 them.

9 O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Ramtha; there they shall remain, and the battle in Ramtha against the children of iniquity shall not overtake them.

10 It is in my desire185 that I should chastise3256 them; and the people5971 shall be gathered622 against5921 them, when they shall bind631 themselves in their two8147 furrows.5869

10 In my rebuke I will chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall be chastised for their two follies.

11 And Ephraim669 is as a heifer5697 that is taught,3925 and loveth157 to tread out1758 the corn; but I589 passed over5674 upon5921 her fair2898 neck:6677 I will make Ephraim669 to ride;7392 Judah3063 shall plow,2790 and Jacob3290 shall break his clods.7702

11 Ephraim is like a heifer that is trained, and loves to tread out the wheat; but I bent her neck under the yoke; I will make Ephraim to be ridden upon, I will cause Judah to tread wheat, and Jacob shall be plundered.

12 Sow2232 to yourselves in righteousness,6666 reap7114 in6310 mercy;2617 break up5214 your fallow ground:5215 for it is time6256 to seek1875 853 the LORD,3068 till5704 he come935 and rain3384 righteousness6664 upon you.

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness, and reap a harvest of mercy; light a lamp for yourselves; for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and reveal his righteousness to you.

13 Ye have plowed2790 wickedness,7562 ye have reaped7114 iniquity;5766 ye have eaten398 the fruit6529 of lies:3585 because3588 thou didst trust982 in thy way,1870 in the multitude7230 of thy mighty men.1368

13 You have plowed sin and wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your ways, and in the multitude of your mighty men;

14 Therefore shall a tumult7588 arise6965 among thy people,5971 and all3605 thy fortresses4013 shall be spoiled,7703 as Shalman8020 spoiled7701 Beth-arbel1009 in the day3117 of battle:4421 the mother517 was dashed in pieces7376 upon5921 her children.1121

14 Therefore destruction shall come upon your people, and all your provinces shall be despoiled as plunder is divided when peace is concluded, even from Beth-el as far as the northern border; in the day of the battle the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

15 So3602 shall Bethel1008 do6213 unto you because4480 6440 of your great wickedness:7451 7451 in a morning7837 shall the king4428 of Israel3478 utterly be cut off.1820 1820

15 So they did to you, O Beth-el, because of your great wickedness; in a morning was the king of Israel confounded and ashamed.
