11 Ephraim is a well-trained calf(A)
that loves to thresh,
but I will place a yoke on[a] her fine neck.(B)

Jacob will do the final plowing.
12 Sow righteousness for yourselves(D)
and reap faithful love;
break up your unplowed ground.(E)
It is time to seek the Lord(F)
until he comes(G) and sends righteousness
on you like the rain.(H)

13 You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice;(I)
you have eaten the fruit of lies.(J)
Because you have trusted in your own way[b]
and in your large number of soldiers,(K)
