13 Mas vocês plantaram a impiedade,colheram o male comeram o fruto do engano.Visto que vocês têm confiado na sua própria forçae nos seus muitos guerreiros,

Oséias 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Hosea 10:13

Ye have ploughed wickedness
Contrived it, and took a great deal of pains to commit it; by ploughing sowed it, and which sprung up in a plentiful crop: it may denote their first sins, from whence all others arose; as their irreligion and infidelity; their apostasy from God; their idolatry and contempt of his word and prophets: ye have reaped iniquity;
abundance of other sins have sprung up from thence; a large harvest of them have been reaped and got in; or great numbers of other sins have been committed; one sin leads on to another, and these proceed "ad infinitum"; wickedness is of an increasing nature, and grows worse and worse, and proceeds to more ungodliness: many understand this of the punishment or reward of sin: ye have eaten the fruit of lies;
as a sweet morsel though bread of deceit; which could not profit them, nor yield them in the issue the pleasure it promised them, and they hoped for from it: because thou didst trust in thy way;
in the worship of their idols, and in their alliances with neighbouring nations, and promised themselves great prosperity and happiness from hence: and in the multitude of thy mighty men;
their valiant soldiers, their numerous armies, and the generals of them, well skilled in war, and courageous; and also in their auxiliaries, which they had from the Egyptians and others; these they put their confidences in, to protect them; and so in their garrisons and fortresses, as the following words show:

Oséias 10:13 In-Context

11 Efraim era bezerra treinada,gostava muito de trilhar;por isso colocareio jugo sobre o seu belo pescoço.Conduzirei Efraim,Judá terá que arar,e Jacó fará sulcos no solo.

12 Semeiem a retidão para si,colham o fruto da lealdadee façam sulcos no seu solo não arado;pois é hora de buscar o SENHOR,até que ele venhae faça chover justiça sobre vocês.

13 Mas vocês plantaram a impiedade,colheram o male comeram o fruto do engano.Visto que vocês têm confiado na sua própria forçae nos seus muitos guerreiros,

14 o fragor da batalha se levantará contra vocês,de maneira que todas as suas fortalezas serão devastadas,como Salmã devastou Bete-Arbel no dia da batalha,quando mães foram pisadas e estraçalhadas junto com seus filhos.

15 Assim acontecerá com você, ó Betel,porque a sua impiedade é grande.Quando amanhecer aquele dia,o rei de Israel será completamente destruído.
