Hosea 10:12-14

Contemporary English Version

^12 (A) Plow your fields,
scatter seeds of justice,
    and harvest faithfulness.
Worship me, the Lord,
and I will send my saving power
    down like rain.
¹³ You have planted evil,
harvested injustice, and eaten
    the fruit of your lies.
You trusted your own strength
    and your powerful forces.
¹⁴ So war will break out,
and your fortresses
    will be destroyed.
Your enemies will do to you
what Shalman^[a] did to the people
    of Beth-Arbel—
mothers and their children
will be beaten to death
    against rocks.
