10 I will discipline(A) them at My discretion;(B)
nations will be gathered against them
to put them in bondage[a]
for their two crimes.(C)

11 Ephraim is a well-trained calf(D)
that loves to thresh,
but I will place a yoke on[b] her fine neck.(E)
I will harness Ephraim;(F)
Judah will plow;
Jacob will do the final plowing.
12 Sow righteousness for yourselves(G)
and reap faithful love;
break up your unplowed ground.(H)
It is time to seek the Lord(I)
until He comes(J) and sends righteousness
on you like the rain.(K)
