10 When I desire,
I will chasten them,
and peoples will gather against them
when they are yoked to their two sins.
11 Though Ephraim is a trained heifer
    that loves to thresh,
    I put a yoke
    over her fair neck.
I will make Ephraim pull;
    Judah will plow;
    Jacob will drag a harrow by himself.”

Plow Up Your Ground

Reap in accord with covenant love.
Break up your unplowed ground.
For it is time to seek Adonai,
    until He comes
    and showers righteousness on you.
