Hosea 10
10
1Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images. 2Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord; what then should a king do to us? 4They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. 5#1 Kgs 12.28,29. The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth–a´ven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. 6It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: E´phra-im shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. 7As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. 8#Luke 23.30; Rev 6.16. The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

Judg 19.1-30. O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gib´e-ah: there they stood: the battle in Gib´e-ah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. 10It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. 11And E´phra-im is as a heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make E´phra-im to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

Jer 4.3. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. 13Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. 14Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth–ar´bel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. 15So shall Beth–el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
