Hosea 10
10
Israel’s Sin and Captivity
1#Hos 8:11; 1Ki 14:23 Israel is a fertile vine
that brings forth its fruit.
As his fruit multiplied,
so his altars increased;
as his land prospered,
so he#Heb. they. improved his pillars.
2#1Ki 18:21; Mic 5:13 Their heart is divided;
now they must bear their guilt.
He will break down their altars
and destroy their pillars.
3#Hos 10:7; 10:15 For now they will say,
“We have no king,
because we do not fear the Lord;
and a king, what could he do for us?”
4#Am 5:7; 2Ki 17:3–4 They speak mere words,
swearing falsely
in making a covenant.
Thus judgment springs up like a poisonous plant
in the furrows of the field.
5#Hos 9:11; 2Ki 23:5 The inhabitants of Samaria fear
because of the calf of Beth Aven.
For its people mourn for it,
and its priests shriek for it,
because its glory has departed from it.
6#Hos 5:13; Isa 30:3 It will be carried to Assyria
as a tribute to King Jareb.#Or the great king.
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.#Or counsel.
7#Hos 10:3 As for Samaria, her king will perish
like a twig on the water.
8#Hos 9:6; Lk 23:30 The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,
will be destroyed.
Thorn and thistle will grow
on their altars.
They will say to the mountains, Cover us,
and to the hills, Fall on us.
9#Hos 9:9 O Israel, you have sinned since the days of Gibeah.
There they have continued.#Heb. he has destroyed you.
Will not the war in Gibeah against evildoers
overtake them?
10#Eze 5:13; Jer 16:16 When I desire, I will punish them.
The nations will be gathered against them
when they are disciplined#Gk.; Heb. bound. for their two transgressions.
11#Dt 25:4; Jer 50:11 Ephraim is a trained heifer
that loves to thresh grain,
but I harnessed her fair neck;
I will make Ephraim pull a plow.
Judah will plow;
Jacob shall furrow for himself.
12#Isa 45:8; Pr 11:18 Sow to yourselves righteousness,
reap mercy,
break up your fallow ground;
for it is time to seek the Lord,
until He comes
and rains righteousness upon you.
13#Job 4:8; Ps 33:16 You have plowed wickedness.
You have reaped iniquity,
and you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your power
and in the numbers of your warriors,
14#Hos 13:16 therefore a tumult will arise among your people,
and all your fortresses will be destroyed
as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle;
mothers were dashed to pieces upon their children.
15#Hos 10:5; 10:7 So will it be done to you, O Bethel,
because of your great wickedness.
At dawn
the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.
