The Book of Hosea 10

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 pillars.

2 Their heart is deceitful;

now they must bear their guilt.

He will break down their altars;

he will destroy their pillars.

3 For now they will say,

“We have no king,

for we do not fear Yahweh,

and a king—what could he do for us?”

4 They speak mere words,

they make covenants with worthless oaths.

So judgment springs up

like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.

5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be afraid

for 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 splendor,

for it has departed from them.

6 The thing itself will be carried to Assyria

as tribute for the great king.

Ephraim will receive shame,

and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.

7 The king of Samaria

will be cut off,

like a twig on the face of the waters.

8 The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed.

Thorns and thistles will grow up on their altars.

Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”

and to the hills, “Fall on us!”

9 “O Israel,

you have sinned since the days of Gibeah;

there they have remained.

Will not the war against the sons of injustice overtake them in Gibeah?

10 When it is my desire, I will discipline them;

and the nations will be gathered against them

when they are bound for their double iniquity.

11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh,

and I spared her fair neck;

but I will harness Ephraim;

Judah will plow;

Jacob will harrow for himself.

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;

reap in accordance with steadfast love.

Break up your fallow ground,

for it is time to seek Yahweh,

until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

13 You have plowed wickedness;

you reaped injustice.

You have eaten the fruit of lies

because you trusted in your way,

in your many warriors.

14 Therefore a tumult will rise among your people,

and all your fortresses will be destroyed,

as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel on the day of battle,

when mothers were dashed to pieces with their children.

15 So it will be done to you, O Bethel,

because of your great wickedness.

At dawn the king of Israel will be completely cut off.”
