10 When it is My (A)desire, I will [a](B)chastise them;
And (C)the peoples will be gathered against them
When they are bound for their double guilt.

11 Ephraim is a trained (D)heifer that loves to thresh,
But I will (E)come over her fair neck with a yoke;
I will harness Ephraim,
Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.
12 (F)Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with [b]kindness;
(G)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to (H)seek the Lord
Until He (I)comes to [c](J)rain righteousness on you.
