Hosea 10:11-13

International Children’s Bible

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.’
¹³ But you have planted evil.
    So you have harvested trouble.
You have trusted in your own power
    and your many soldiers.
    Now you must live with the result of your lies.
