Hosea 10:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ When I desire, I will punish them.
    The nations will be gathered against them
    when they are disciplined^[a] for their two transgressions.
¹¹ Ephraim is a trained heifer
    that loves to thresh grain,
    but I harnessed her fair neck;
I will make Ephraim pull a plow.
    Judah will plow;
    Jacob shall furrow for himself.
¹² Sow to yourselves righteousness,
    reap mercy,
break up your fallow ground;
    for it is time to seek the Lord,
until He comes
    and rains righteousness upon you.
