Hosea - Chapter 10

1Yisrael is a ravaged vine 1 And its fruit is like it. When his fruit was plentiful, He made altars aplenty; When his land was bountiful, Cult pillars abounded.

2Now that his boughs are broken up, He feels his guilt; He himself pulls apart his altars, Smashes his pillars.

3Truly, now they say, “We have no king; For, since we do not fear Hashem, What can a king do to us?”

4So they conclude agreements and make covenants With false oaths, And justice degenerates into poison weeds, Breaking out on the furrows of the fields.

5The inhabitants of Shomron fear For the calf of Beit Aven; Indeed, its people and priestlings, Whose joy it once was, Mourn over it for the glory That is departed from it.

6It too shall be brought to Assyria As tribute to a patron king; Efraim shall be chagrined, Yisrael shall be dismayed Because of his plans.

8Ruined shall be the shrines of [Beth-]aven, That sin of Yisrael. Thorns and thistles Shall grow on their altars. They shall call to the mountains, “Bury us!” To the hills, “Fall on us!”

10As peoples gather against them? When I chose [them], I broke them in, Harnessing them for two furrows.

11Efraim became a trained heifer, But preferred to thresh; I placed a yoke Upon her sleek neck. I will make Efraim do advance plowing; Yehuda shall do [main] plowing! Yaakov shall do final plowing!

12“Sow righteousness for yourselves; Reap the fruits of goodness; Break for yourselves betimes fresh ground Of seeking Hashem, So that you may obtain a teacher of righteousness.”

13You have plowed wickedness, You have reaped iniquity— [And] you shall eat the fruits of treachery— Because you relied on your way, On your host of warriors.

14But the din of war shall arise in your own people, And all your fortresses shall be ravaged As Beth-arbel was ravaged by Shalman On a day of battle, When mothers and babes were dashed to death together.
