NASB — Hosea 10 — KJV

Retribution for Israel’s Sin

  1 Israel° is a Iluxuriant° avine°;
  He produces° fruit° for himself.
  The more° his fruit°,
  The more° altars° he bmade°;
  The IIricher° his land°,
  The better° IIIhe made° the [sacred] cpillars°.
  2 Their heart° is Iafaithless°;
  Now° they must bear° their bguilt°.
  IIThe LORD will cbreak° down° their altars°
  [And] destroy° their [sacred] pillars°.

  3 ¶ Surely° now° they will say°, “We have° ano° king°,
  For we do not revere° the LORD°.
  As for the king°, what° can he do° for us?”
  4 They speak° [mere] words°,
  IWith aworthless° oaths° they make° covenants°;
  And bjudgment° sprouts° like poisonous° weeds° in the furrows° of the field°.
  5 The inhabitants° of Samaria° will fear°
  For the Iacalf° of bBeth-aven°.
  Indeed°, its people° will mourn° for it,
  And its cidolatrous° priests° IIwill cry° out over° it,
  Over° its dglory°, since° it has departed° from it.
  6 The thing itself° will be carried° to aAssyria°
  As tribute° to IbKing° Jareb°;
  Ephraim° will IIbe cseized° with shame°
  And Israel° will be ashamed° of its down counsel°.
  7 Samaria° will be acut° off° [with] her king°
  Like a stick° on the surface° of the water°.
  8 Also the ahigh° places° of Aven°, the bsin° of Israel°, will be destroyed°;
  cThorn° and thistle° will grow° on their altars°;
  Then they will dsay° to the mountains°,
  “Cover° us!” And to the hills°, “Fall° on us!”
  9 From the days° of Gibeah° you have sinned°, O Israel°;
  There° they stand°!
  Will not the battle° against° the sons° of iniquity° overtake° them in Gibeah°?
  10 When it is My adesire°, I will Ibchastise° them;
  And cthe peoples° will be gathered° against° them
  When they are bound° for their double° guilt°.

  13 You have aplowed° wickedness°, you have reaped° injustice°,
  You have eaten° the fruit° of blies°.
  Because° you have trusted° in your way°, in your cnumerous° warriors°,
  14 Therefore a tumult° will arise° among your people°,

  15 Thus° it will be done° to you at Bethel° because°° of your great° wickedness°.

Israel is reproved and threatened for their impiety and idolatry.

1 ¶ Israelº [is] an emptyºª vine,º he bringeth forthºª fruitº unto himself: according to the multitudeº of his fruitº he hath increasedºª the altars;º according to the goodnessº of his landº they have made goodly¹ª² images.º 2 Their heartº is divided;ºª now² shall they be found faulty:ºª he² shall break downºª their altars,º he shall spoilºª their images.º 3 For² now² they shall say,ºª We have no² king,º because² we fearedºª not²² the LORD;º what² then should a kingº doºª to us? 4 They have spokenºª words,º swearingºª falselyº in makingºª a covenant:º thus judgmentº springeth upºª as hemlockº in² the furrowsº of the field.º 5 The inhabitantsº of Samariaº shall fearºª because of the calvesº of Bethaven:º for² the peopleº thereof shall mournºª over² it, and the priestsº thereof [that] rejoicedºª on² it, for² the gloryº thereof, because² it is departedºª from² it. 6 It shall be also² carriedºª unto Assyriaº [for] a presentº to kingº Jareb:º Ephraimº shall receiveºª shame,º and Israelº shall be ashamedºª of his own counsel.º² 7 [As for] Samaria,º her kingº is cut offºª as the foamº uponº² the water.º 8 The high placesº also of Aven,º the sinº of Israel,º shall be destroyed:ºª the thornº and the thistleº shall come upºª on² their altars;º and they shall sayºª to the mountains,º Coverºª us; and to the hills,º Fallºª on² us. 9 O Israel,º thou hast sinnedºª from the daysº² of Gibeah:º there² they stood:ºª the battleº in Gibeahº against² the childrenº of iniquityº did not² overtakeºª them. 10 [It is] in my desireº that I should chastiseºª them; and the peopleº shall be gatheredºª against² them, when they shall bindºª themselves in their twoº furrows.º 11 And Ephraimº [is as] an heiferº [that is] taught,ºª [and] lovethºª to tread outºª [the corn]; but I² passed overºª upon² her fairº neck:º I will make Ephraimº to ride;ºª Judahº shall plow,ºª [and] Jacobº shall break his clods.ºª 12 Sowºª to yourselves in righteousness,º reapºª inº mercy;º break upºª your fallow ground:º for [it is] timeº to seekºª² the LORD,º till² he comeºª and rainºª righteousnessº upon you. 13 Ye have plowedºª wickedness,º ye have reapedºª iniquity;º ye have eatenºª the fruitº of lies:º because² thou didst trustºª in thy way,º in the multitudeº of thy mighty men.º 14 Therefore shall a tumultº ariseºª among thy people,º and all² thy fortressesº shall be spoiled,ºª as Shalmanº spoiledº Betharbelº in the dayº of battle:º the motherº was dashed in piecesºª upon² [her] children.º 15 Soº shall Bethelº doºª unto you becauseº² of your great¹ wickedness:º in a morningº shall the kingº of Israelº utterly¹ª be cut off.ºª
