10 When it is My (A)desire, I will [a](B)discipline 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,
[b]And I (E)passed over her lovely neck;
I will harness Ephraim,
Judah will plow, Jacob will [c]harrow for himself.
12 (F)Sow for yourselves, with a view to righteousness;
Harvest in accordance with [d]kindness.
(G)Break up your uncultivated ground,
For it is time to (H)seek the Lord
Until He (I)comes and (J)rains righteousness on you.
