Hosea 10

Israel is reproved and threatened for their impiety and idolatry.

 10:1 ¶ Israel 3478 [is] an empty 1238 z8802 vine, 1612 he bringeth forth 7737 z8762 fruit 6529 unto himself: according to the multitude 7230 of his fruit 6529 he hath increased 7235 z8689 the altars; 4196 according to the goodness 2896 of his land 776 they have made goodly y2895 z8689 x3190 images. 4676

 10:2 Their heart 3820 is divided; 2505 z8804 now x6258 shall they be found faulty: 816 z8799 he x1931 shall break down 6202 z8799 their altars, 4196 he shall spoil 7703 z8779 their images. 4676

 10:3 For x3588 now x6258 they shall say, 559 z8799 We have no x369 king, 4428 because x3588 we feared 3372 z8804 not x3808 x853 the LORD; 3068 what x4100 then should a king 4428 do 6213 z8799 to us?

 10:4 They have spoken 1696 z8765 words, 1697 swearing 422 z8800 falsely 7723 in making 3772 z8800 a covenant: 1285 thus judgment 4941 springeth up 6524 z8804 as hemlock 7219 in x5921 the furrows 8525 of the field. 7704

 10:5 The inhabitants 7934 of Samaria 8111 shall fear 1481 z8799 because of the calves 5697 of Beth-aven: 1007 for x3588 the people 5971 thereof shall mourn 56 z8804 over x5921 it, and the priests 3649 thereof [that] rejoiced 1523 z8799 on x5921 it, for x5921 the glory 3519 thereof, because x3588 it is departed 1540 z8804 from x4480 it.

 10:6 It shall be also x1571 carried 2986 z8714 unto Assyria 804 [for] a present 4503 to king 4428 Jareb: 3377 Ephraim 669 shall receive 3947 z8799 shame, 1317 and Israel 3478 shall be ashamed 954 z8799 of his own counsel. 6098 x4480

 10:7 [As for] Samaria, 8111 her king 4428 is cut off 1820 z8738 as the foam 7110 upon 6440 x5921 the water. 4325

 10:8 The high places 1116 also of Aven, 206 the sin 2403 of Israel, 3478 shall be destroyed: 8045 z8738 the thorn 6975 and the thistle 1863 shall come up 5927 z8799 on x5921 their altars; 4196 and they shall say 559 z8804 to the mountains, 2022 Cover 3680 z8761 us; and to the hills, 1389 Fall 5307 z8798 on x5921 us.

 10:9 O Israel, 3478 thou hast sinned 2398 z8804 from the days 3117 x4480 of Gibeah: 1390 there x8033 they stood: 5975 z8804 the battle 4421 in Gibeah 1390 against x5921 the children 1121 of iniquity 5932 did not x3808 overtake 5381 z8686 them.

 10:10 [It is] in my desire 185 that I should chastise 3256 z8799 them; and the people 5971 shall be gathered 622 z8795 against x5921 them, when they shall bind 631 z8800 themselves in their two 8147 furrows. 5869

 10:11 And Ephraim 669 [is as] a heifer 5697 [that is] taught, 3925 z8794 [and] loveth 157 z8802 to tread out 1758 z8800 [the corn]; but I x589 passed over 5674 z8804 upon x5921 her fair 2898 neck: 6677 I will make Ephraim 669 to ride; 7392 z8686 Judah 3063 shall plow, 2790 z8799 [and] Jacob 3290 shall break his clods. 7702 z8762

 10:12 Sow 2232 z8798 to yourselves in righteousness, 6666 reap 7114 z8798 in 6310 mercy; 2617 break up 5214 z8798 your fallow ground: 5215 for [it is] time 6256 to seek 1875 z8800 x853 the LORD, 3068 till x5704 he come 935 z8799 and rain 3384 z8686 righteousness 6664 upon you.

 10:13 Ye have plowed 2790 z8804 wickedness, 7562 ye have reaped 7114 z8804 iniquity; 5766 ye have eaten 398 z8804 the fruit 6529 of lies: 3585 because x3588 thou didst trust 982 z8804 in thy way, 1870 in the multitude 7230 of thy mighty men. 1368

 10:14 Therefore shall a tumult 7588 arise 6965 z8804 among thy people, 5971 and all x3605 thy fortresses 4013 shall be spoiled, 7703 z8714 as Shalman 8020 spoiled 7701 Beth-arbel 1009 in the day 3117 of battle: 4421 the mother 517 was dashed in pieces 7376 z8795 upon x5921 [her] children. 1121

 10:15 So 3602 shall Bethel 1008 do 6213 z8804 unto you because 6440 x4480 of your great y7451 wickedness: 7451 in a morning 7837 shall the king 4428 of Israel 3478 utterly y1820 z8736 be cut off. 1820 z8738
