Hosea 10:12-14
GOD’S WORD Translation
12 “Break new ground.
Plant righteousness,
and harvest the fruit that your loyalty will produce for me.”
It’s time to seek the Lord!
When he comes, he will rain righteousness on you.
13 You have planted wickedness and harvested evil.
You have eaten the fruit that your lies produced.
You have trusted your own power and your many warriors.
14 So your army will hear the noise of battle.
All your fortresses will be destroyed
like the time Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in battle.
Mothers and their children were smashed to death.

Hosea 10:12-14
New International Version
12 Sow(A) righteousness(B) for yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;(C)
for it is time to seek(D) the Lord,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness(E) on you.
13 But you have planted wickedness,
you have reaped evil,(F)
you have eaten the fruit of deception.(G)
Because you have depended on your own strength
and on your many warriors,(H)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
so that all your fortresses will be devastated(I)—
as Shalman(J) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(K)
