This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
10 Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit.
→The more his fruit increased, the more altars he built.
≈As his land prospered, he improved his sacred pillars.
→Now they must bear their guilt.
He will break down their altars.
3 Now they’ll say, “We don’t have any king,
because we don’t respect Yahweh,
and what advantage would it be to us to have a king?”
They make agreements with worthless promises.
So judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
5 The inhabitants of Shomron (Samaria) will be afraid about what will happen to the calf of Beth-Aven.
Indeed, its people will mourn over it, as will its idolatrous priests who had rejoiced over it
and over its splendour because it’s departed from them.
6 The thing itself will be carried to Assyria as tribute for the great king.
≈and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
7 The king of Shomron will be removed,
like a twig getting carried out of sight by a river.
8 The high places of Aven, the place of Israel’s sin, will be destroyed.
≈Thorns and thistles will grow up on their altars.
Then they’ll say to the mountains, ‘Cover us!’
≈and to the hills, ‘Fall on us.’[ref]
9 “Yes, Yisrael, you’ve been sinning since the time of Gibeah.[ref]
Won’t the war against the sons of injustice overtake them in Gibeah?
10 When I’m ready, I’ll discipline them,
and the nations will be gathered against them when they’re taken in chains for their two sins.
11 Efraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh and I spared her fair neck,
but I will harness Efraim.
≈Yehudah will plough.
≈Yakov will harrow the ground for himself.
12 Sow righteousness for yourselves.
→Harvest in accordance with loyal commitment.
Break up your fallow ground because it’s time to seek Yahweh,
→until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
13 You have ploughed wickedness and harvested injustice.
You’ve eaten the fruit of lies
because you trusted in your own way—in your many warriors.
14 Therefore a confused alarm will sound among your people and all your fortresses will be destroyed,
≈just like Shalman destroyed Beth-Arbel on the day of battle when mothers were dashed to pieces with their children.
15 Then it will also be done to you, Beyt-El because of your great wickedness.
At dawn, Yisrael’s king will be destroyed.”
