Hosea 10:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ I have come to confront the rebels
    and to chastise them.
Nations shall mass against them
    to punish them for their two crimes.
¹¹ Ephraim was a trained heifer
    that loved to thresh grain.
I myself laid a yoke
    upon her fair neck.
However, I will harness Ephraim;
    Judah will be forced to plow,
    and Jacob will harrow the land.
¹² Sow righteousness for yourselves,
    and reap a harvest of steadfast love.
Break up your fallow ground;
    it is time to seek the Lord
    so that he may come and rain down righteousness upon you.
