11 Ephraim was a trained cow that loved to pull a plow;
        I spared her fair neck;
        but I will make Ephraim break through the ground;
            Judah will plow;
            Jacob will turn the soil for himself.
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;
        reap faithful love;
    break up your unplanted ground,
        for it is time to seek the Lord,
        that he may come
        and rain righteousness upon you.
13 You have plowed wickedness,
        you have reaped depravity,
        you have eaten the fruit of lies,
    because you have trusted in your way
        and in your many warriors.
