Hosea 10:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

Israel Will Pay for Sin

⁹ “Israel, you have sinned since the time of Gibeah. (And the people have continued to sin there.) Those evil people at Gibeah will be trapped by war. ¹⁰ I will come to punish them. Armies will come together against them and punish the Israelites for both of their sins.^[a]

¹¹ “Ephraim is like a trained young cow that loves to walk on grain on the threshing floor. I will put a good yoke on her neck. I will put the ropes on Ephraim. Then Judah will begin plowing. Jacob will break the ground himself.”
