Oseas 10:10-15

10 Y los castigaré como deseo; y pueblos se juntarán sobre ellos cuando sean atados en sus dos surcos

11 Efraín es becerra domada, amadora del trillar; mas yo pasaré sobre su lozana cerviz; yo haré halar a Efraín; arará Judá, quebrará sus terrones Jacob

12 Sembrad vosotros mismos para justicia, segad vosotros mismos para misericordia; arad vuestro barbecho; porque es el tiempo de buscar al SEÑOR, hasta que venga y os enseñe justicia

13 Habéis arado impiedad, segasteis iniquidad; comeréis fruto de mentira; porque confiaste en tu camino, y en la multitud de tus fuertes

14 Por tanto, en tus pueblos se levantará alboroto, y todas tus fortalezas serán destruidas, como destruyó Salmán a Bet-arbel el día de la batalla; la madre fue arrojada sobre los hijos

15 Así hará a vosotros Bet-el por la maldad de vuestra maldad; en la mañana será del todo cortado el rey de Israel

Oseas 10:10-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO HOSEA 10

This chapter is of the same argument with the former, and others before that; setting forth the sins of the ten tribes, and threatening them with the judgments of God for them; and exhorting them to repentance, and works of righteousness. They are charged with unfruitfulness and ingratitude; increasing in idolatry, as they increased in temporal good things, Ho 10:1; with a divided heart, and with irreverence of God, and their king; and with false swearing, covenant breaking, and injustice, Ho 10:2-4; and are threatened with a removal of their king, and with the destruction of their idols, and places of idolatry, which should cause fear in the common people, and mourning among the priests, Ho 10:1,5-8. It is observed, that their sin had been of long continuance, though the Lord had been kind and good unto them, in chastising them in love, giving them good laws, sending his prophets to exhort them to repentance and reformation, but all in vain, Ho 10:9-13; wherefore they are threatened with the spoiling of their fortresses, the destruction of the people, and the cutting off of their king, Ho 10:14,15.
