Hosea 10
1
Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit.
2
Their heart is divided.
3
Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD;
4
They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants.
5
The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven,
6
It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king.
7
Samaria and her king float away
8
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed.
9
“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah.
10
When it is my desire, I will chastise them;
11
Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh,
12
Sow to yourselves in righteousness,
13
You have plowed wickedness.
14
Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people,
15
So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness.
