Hosea 10

Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit.

Their heart is divided.

Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear Yahweh;

They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants.

The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven;

It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king.

Samaria and her king float away,

The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed.

“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah.

When it is my desire, I will chastise them;

Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh;

Sow to yourselves in righteousness,

You have plowed wickedness.

Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people,

So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness.
