Hosea 10:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ ·Israel [^LEphraim; 4:17] is like a well-trained ·young cow [heifer]
    that likes to thresh grain.
I will put a ·yoke [or a fine yoke] on her ·neck [or fair neck]
    and ·make her work hard in the field [drive Ephraim hard].
Israel will plow,
    and Judah will break up the ground.
¹² I said, ‘·Plant goodness [Sow righteousness],
    ·harvest the fruit of loyalty [reap mercy/lovingkindness],
    ·plow the new ground of knowledge [^Lbreak up the unplowed/fallow ground].
·Look for [or For it is time to seek] the Lord until he comes
    and ·pours goodness on you like water [^Lrains/showers righteousness/justice on you].’
¹³ But you have plowed ·evil [wickedness; iniquity]
    and ·harvested [reaped] ·trouble [evil; injustice];
    you have eaten the fruit of ·your lies [deception; treachery].
Because you have trusted in your own ·power [or chariots]
    and your many ·soldiers [warriors],
