Hosea 10

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Israel <em>is</em> an empty vine. Shall he bring forth fruit unto himself? According to the multiplication of his fruit he has multiplied altars; according to the goodness of his land they have bettered their statues.

2 Their heart has wandered; now they shall be found guilty: he shall break down their altars, he shall destroy their statues.

3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we did not fear the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment shall spring up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn because of the calf, and the religious <em>persons</em> thereof <em>that</em> rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, which shall be made to vanish away.

6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria <em>for</em> a present to King Jareb: Ephraim shall be ashamed, and Israel shall be confused at his own counsel.

7 <em>As for</em> Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the surface of the waters.

9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah; there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them.

10 And I shall chastise them as I desire; and <em>the</em> peoples shall gather themselves over them, when they shall be bound in their two furrows.

11 Ephraim <em>is</em> a heifer <em>that is</em> taught <em>and</em> loves to tread out <em>the wheat</em>; but I shall pass over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to draw; Judah shall plow, <em>and</em> Jacob shall break his clods.

12 Sow yourselves unto righteousness, reap yourselves unto mercy; break up your fallow ground: for <em>it is</em> the time to seek the LORD until he comes and teaches you righteousness.

13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye shall eat the fruit of lies because thou didst trust in thy way <em>and</em> in the multitude of thy mighty men.

14 Therefore, in thy peoples a tumult shall arise, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon <em>her</em> sons.

15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness; in the morning the king of Israel shall utterly be cut off.

New International Version NIV

1 Israel 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.

2 Their heart is deceitful, and now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones.

3 Then 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?”

4 They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.

13 But 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,

14 the 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.

15 So will it happen to you, Bethel, because your wickedness is great. When that day dawns, the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.
