Hosea 10:12-14

New Century Version

¹² I said, ‘Plant goodness,
    harvest the fruit of loyalty,
    plow the new ground of knowledge.
Look for the Lord until he comes
    and pours goodness on you like water.’
¹³ But you have plowed evil
    and harvested trouble;
    you have eaten the fruit of your lies.
Because you have trusted in your own power
    and your many soldiers,
¹⁴ your people will hear the noise of battle,
    and all your strong, walled cities will be destroyed.
It will be like the time King Shalman
    destroyed Beth Arbel in battle,
    when mothers and their children were bashed to death.
