Book 28 Hosea Chapter 010

 

010:001Israel 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.

 

010:002Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he
shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

 

010:003For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not
the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

 

010:004They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant:
thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the
field.

 

010:005The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of
Bethaven: 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.

 

010:006It 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.

 

010:007As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the
water.

 

010:008The 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.

 

010:009O 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.

 

010:010It 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.

 

010:011And 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.

 

010:012Sow 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.

 

010:013Ye 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.

 

010:014Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy
fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in
the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her
children.

 

010:015So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness:
in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
