Hosea 10:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ When I am ready,
    I will come to punish them.
Armies will come together against them.
    They will be punished for their many sins.
¹¹ Israel is like a well-trained young cow
    that likes to thresh grain.
But I will put a yoke on her neck.
    I will make Israel work hard in the field.
Judah will plow.
    Israel will break up the ground.
¹² I said, ‘Break new ground.
    Plant what is right.
Then you will harvest good things
    from your loyalty to me.
It is time for you to turn back to me, the Lord.
    Do it until I come and pour out my goodness on you.’
