23 Hosea 10:1

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹Israel 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. ²Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. ³For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us? ⁴They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. ⁵The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven: 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. ⁶It 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. ⁷As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. ⁸The 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. ⁹O 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. ¹⁰It 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. ¹¹And 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. ¹²Sow 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. ¹³Ye 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. ¹⁴Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth- arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. ¹⁵So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.(KJV)

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹Israel is a luxuriant vine, that putteth forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars. ²Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will smite their altars, he will destroy their pillars. ³Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us? ⁴They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. ⁵The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. ⁶It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. ⁷As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water. ⁸The 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. ⁹O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; the battle against the children of iniquity doth not overtake them in Gibeah. ¹⁰When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions. ¹¹And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out the grain; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods. ¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. ¹³Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. ¹⁴Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children. ¹⁵So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.(ASV)

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹ISRAEL 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. ²Their heart is wavering; and from now they shall be condemned; he shall demolish their altars; he shall plunder their shrines. ³For from now they shall say, We have no king because we feared not the LORD; what then can a king do for us? ⁴They have spoken words belonging to false altars; they have broken the covenant and paid the penalty; they are like briers in a barren field. ⁵The 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. ⁶Even 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. ⁷Samaria has cast away her king like a chip on the face of the water. ⁸The 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. ¹⁰In my rebuke I will chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall be chastised for their two follies. ¹¹Ephraim 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. ¹²Sow 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. ¹³You 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; ¹⁴Therefore 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. ¹⁵So they did to you, O Beth-el, because of your great wickedness; in a morning was the king of Israel confounded and ashamed. (LAM)

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased the more altars he built; as his country improved he improved his pillars. ²Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars, and destroy their pillars.

³For now they will say: "We have no king, for we fear not the LORD, and a king, what could he do for us?" ⁴They utter mere words; with empty oaths they make covenants; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field. ⁵The inhabitants of Sama'ria tremble for the calf of Beth-a'ven. Its people shall mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests shall wail over it, over its glory which has departed from it. ⁶Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. E'phraim shall be put to shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.

⁷Sama'ria's king shall perish, like a chip on the face of the waters. ⁸The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. Thorn and thistle shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.

⁹From the days of Gib'e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not war overtake them in Gib'e-ah? ¹⁰I will come against the wayward people to chastise them; and nations shall be gathered against them when they are chastised for their double iniquity. ¹¹E'phraim was a trained heifer that loved to thresh, and I spared her fair neck; but I will put E'phraim to the yoke, Judah must plow, Jacob must harrow for himself. ¹²Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain salvation upon you.

¹³You have plowed iniquity, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your chariots and in the multitude of your warriors, ¹⁴therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar'bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children. ¹⁵Thus it shall be done to you, O house of Israel, because of your great wickedness. In the storm the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.(RSV)

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹Israel was a spreading vine; he brought forth fruit for himself. As his fruit increased, he built more altars; as his land prospered, he adorned his sacred stones. ²Their heart is deceitful, and now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones. ³Then they will say, "We have no king because we did not revere the LORD. But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?" ⁴They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field. ⁵The people who live in Samaria fear for the calf-idol of Beth Aven. Its people will mourn over it, and so will its idolatrous priests, those who had rejoiced over its splendor, because it is taken from them into exile. ⁶It will be carried to Assyria as tribute for the great king. Ephraim will be disgraced; Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols. ⁷Samaria and its king will float away like a twig on the surface of the waters. ⁸The high places of wickedness will be destroyed -- it is the sin of Israel. Thorns and thistles will grow up and cover their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Cover us!" and to the hills, "Fall on us!" ⁹"Since the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel, and there you have remained. Did not war overtake the evildoers in Gibeah? ¹⁰When I please, I will punish them; nations will be gathered against them to put them in bonds for their double sin. ¹¹Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her fair neck. I will drive Ephraim, Judah must plow, and Jacob must break up the ground. ¹²Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you. ¹³But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors, ¹⁴the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated -- as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children. ¹⁵Thus will it happen to you, O Bethel, because your wickedness is great. When that day dawns, the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.(NIV)

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit.
According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars.
As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.

²Their heart is divided.
Now they will be found guilty.
He will demolish their altars.
He will destroy their sacred stones.

³Surely now they will say, 'We have no king; for we don't fear Yahweh;
And the king, what can he do for us?'

⁴They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants.
Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven;
For its people will mourn over it,
Along with its priests who rejoiced over it,
For its glory, because it has departed from it.

⁶It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king.
Ephraim will receive shame,
And Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.

⁷Samaria and her king float away,
Like a twig on the water.

⁸The 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.

¹⁰When it is my desire, I will chastise them;
And the nations will be gathered against them,
When they are bound to their two transgressions.

¹¹Ephraim 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.

¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness,
Reap according to kindness.

Break up your fallow ground;
For it is time to seek Yahweh,
Until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

¹³You_P have plowed wickedness.
You_P have reaped iniquity.
You_P have eaten the fruit of lies,
For you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

¹⁴Therefore 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.

¹⁵So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness.
At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.(WEB)

23 Hosea 10:1-15 ¹Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit.
According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars.
As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.

²Their heart is divided.
Now they will be found guilty.
He will demolish their altars.
He will destroy their sacred stones.

³Surely now they will say, 'We have no king; for we don't fear the LORD;
and the king, what can he do for us?'

⁴They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants.
Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven;
for its people will mourn over it,
Along with its priests who rejoiced over it,
for its glory, because it has departed from it.

⁶It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king.
Ephraim will receive shame,
and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.

⁷Samaria and her king float away,
like a twig on the water.

⁸The 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.

¹⁰When it is my desire, I will chastise them;
and the nations will be gathered against them,
when they are bound to their two transgressions.

¹¹Ephraim 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.

¹²Sow 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.

¹³You 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.

¹⁴Therefore 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.

¹⁵So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness.
At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.(WEB/HNV)

⁹Oh Israel, you have sinned from the days of Ramtha; there they will remain, and the battle in Ramtha against the children of iniquity will not overtake them. ¹⁰In my rebuke I will chastise them; and the people will be gathered against them when they will be chastised for their 2 follies. ¹¹Ephraim 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 on, I will cause Judah to tread wheat, and Jacob will be plundered. ¹²Sow for yourselves righteousness, and reap a harvest of mercy; light a lamp for yourselves; for it is time to seek Yahvah, until he comes and reveals his righteousness to you. ¹³You have plowed sin and wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies.
