Hosea 10:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ When I’m ready, I will chasten them;
    and the people will gather against them,
        to imprison them for their two unrighteous acts.”^[a]

¹¹ “Ephraim, the well-trained heifer,
    loves to thresh grain,
so I will spare her neck.
    I will turn Ephraim into a pack animal.
Judah will pull the plow,
    and Jacob will turn up the fallow ground.
¹² Sow in righteousness in your own interest,
    reap in gracious love,
        break up your own unprepared ground;
It is now time to inquire of^[b] the Lord,
    until he comes to pour out righteousness for you.
