Hosea 10

Hos 10:1 Israel is a luxuriant vine; he bears fruit for himself. According to the plenty of his fruit he has increased the altars. They have made beautiful images according to the goodness of his land.
Hos 10:2 Their heart is divided. Now they shall be guilty. He will break down their altars; He will spoil their pillars.
Hos 10:3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we did not fear Jehovah. What then should a king do for us?
Hos 10:4 They have spoken words, swearing vanity to cut a covenant. So judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Hos 10:5 The people of Samaria shall dread because of the calves of Beth-aven. For its people shall mourn over it; also its priests who rejoiced on it for its glory, because it has departed from it.
Hos 10:6 It shall also be carried to Assyria, a present to King Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Hos 10:7 Samaria is cut off; her king is as a bough on the face of the water.
Hos 10:8 Also, the high places 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!
Hos 10:9 O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them in Gibeah.
Hos 10:10 When I desire, I shall bind them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they bind themselves to their two perversities.
Hos 10:11 And Ephraim is a trained heifer, loving to tread out. But I passed over on the goodness of her neck; I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow; Jacob shall break clods for him.
Hos 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap as kindness. Break up your fallow ground. For it is time to seek Jehovah, until He comes and rains righteousness on you.
Hos 10:13 You have plowed wickedness; you have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies because you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Hos 10:14 And an uproar shall rise up among your peoples. And all your strongholds shall be spoiled, as the ruin of Beth-arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces on her sons.
Hos 10:15 So He does to you, Bethel, because of your great evil. In the dawn, the king of Israel shall be completely cut off.

On this day...
