Hosea 10:12-14
International Standard Version
12 Sow in righteousness in your own interest,
reap in gracious love,
break up your own unprepared ground;
It is now time to inquire of[a] the Lord,
until he comes to pour out righteousness for you.
13 You have plowed[b] evil;
you have reaped unrighteousness;
you have eaten the fruit of hypocrisy;
because you trusted in your own direction,
and in the number of your mighty forces.
14 Therefore a disaster will come upon your people,
and all of your fortresses will be ruined.
As Shalman[c] destroyed Beth-arbel in wartime,
mothers were[d] dashed to pieces
along with their children.
