Hosea 10:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Sow righteousness for yourselves,
    and reap a harvest of steadfast love.
Break up your fallow ground;
    it is time to seek the Lord
    so that he may come and rain down righteousness upon you.
¹³ However, you have plowed wickedness
    and reaped depravity;
    you have eaten the fruit of falsehood.
Because you have trusted in your chariots
    and in your multitude of warriors,
¹⁴ the tumult of war will engulf your people,
    and all your fortresses will be destroyed,
as Salman^[a] devastated Beth-arbel on the day of battle
    when mothers were dashed to pieces with their children.
