Hosea 10:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ Israel is like a well-trained young cow
    that likes to thresh grain.
I will put a yoke on her neck
    and make her work hard in the field.
Israel will plow,
    and Judah will break up the ground.
¹² I said, ‘Plant goodness,
    harvest the fruit of loyalty,
    plow the new ground of knowledge.
Look for the Lord until he comes
    and pours goodness on you like water.’
¹³ But you have plowed evil
    and harvested trouble;
    you have eaten the fruit of your lies.
Because you have trusted in your own power
    and your many soldiers,
