10 When it is My desire, I will chasten them.
(A)Peoples shall be gathered against them
When I bind them [a]for their two transgressions.
11 Ephraim is (B)a trained heifer
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim [b]pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
(C)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He (D)comes and rains righteousness on you.
