Hosea 10
1
Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
2
Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
3
Surely now they will say, "We have no king; for we don't fear Yahweh; and the king, what can he do for us?"
4
They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

7
Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
13
You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14
Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
15
So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
