12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness: reap after the measure of mercy: [a]break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

13 But you have plowed wickedness: ye have reaped iniquity: you have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thine own ways, and in the multitude of thy strong men,

14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy munitions shall be destroyed, as [b]Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle: the mother with the children was dashed in pieces.
