Hosea 10:11 in context

Hosea 10:8–14

8

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

The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars.

They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”

9

“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah.

There they remained.

The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.

10

When it is my desire, I will chastise them;

and the nations will be gathered against them

when they are bound to their two transgressions.

Selected verse

Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh,

so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck.

I will set a rider on Ephraim.

Judah will plow.

Jacob will break his clods.

12

Sow to yourselves in righteousness,

reap according to kindness.

Break up your fallow ground,

for it is time to seek the LORD,

until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

13

You have plowed wickedness.

You have reaped iniquity.

You have eaten the fruit of lies,

for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

14

Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people,

and all your fortresses will be destroyed,

as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle.

The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
