Hosea 10:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ Once you were obedient
like a calf
    that loved to thresh grain.
But I will put a harness
    on your beautiful neck;
you and Judah must plow
    and cultivate the ground.
^12 (A) Plow your fields,
scatter seeds of justice,
    and harvest faithfulness.
Worship me, the Lord,
and I will send my saving power
    down like rain.
¹³ You have planted evil,
harvested injustice, and eaten
    the fruit of your lies.
You trusted your own strength
    and your powerful forces.
