Hosea 10 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Their heart ^H3820 is [fn]deceitful ^H2505;

Now ^H6258 they must suffer ^H816 for ^H816 their guilt ^H816.

[fn]The LORD will break ^H6202 down ^H6202 their altars ^H4196

And destroy ^H7703 their memorial ^H4676 stones ^H4676.

Certainly ^H3588 now ^H6258 they will say ^H559, “We have ^H369 no ^H369 king ^H4428,

For we do not revere ^H3372 the LORD ^H3068.

As for the king ^H4428, what ^H4100 can he do ^H6213 for us?”

They speak ^H1696 mere words ^H1697,

[fn]With worthless ^H7723 oaths ^H422 they make ^H3772 covenants ^H1285;

And judgment ^H4941 sprouts ^H6524 like poisonous ^H7219 weeds ^H7219 in the furrows ^H8525 of the field ^H7704.

The inhabitants ^H7934 of Samaria ^H8111 will fear ^H1481

For the [fn]calf ^H5697 of Beth-aven ^H1007.

Indeed ^H3588, its people ^H5971 will mourn ^H56 for it,

And its idolatrous ^H3649 priests ^H3649 [fn]will cry ^H1523 out ^H1523 over ^H5921 it,

Over ^H5921 its glory ^H3519, since ^H3588 it has left ^H1540 it.

The thing itself ^H1571 will be brought ^H2986 to Assyria ^H804

As a gift ^H4503 of ^H4503 tribute ^H4503 to [fn]King ^H4428 Jareb ^H3377;

Ephraim ^H669 will [fn]be seized ^H3947 with shame ^H1317,

And Israel ^H3478 will be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 of its own plan ^H6098.

Samaria ^H8111 will be destroyed ^H1820 with her king ^H4428,

Like a twig ^H7110 on the surface ^H6440 of the water ^H4325.

Also the high ^H1116 places ^H1116 of Aven ^H206, the sin ^H2398 of Israel ^H3478, will be destroyed ^H8045;

Thorns ^H6975 and thistles ^H1863 will grow ^H5927 on their altars ^H4196;

Then they will say ^H559 to the mountains ^H2022,

“Cover ^H3680 us!” And to the hills ^H1389, “Fall ^H5307 on us!”

Since ^H4480 the days ^H3117 of Gibeah ^H1390 you have sinned ^H2398, Israel ^H3478;

There ^H8033 they stand ^H5975!

Will the battle ^H4421 against ^H5921 the sons ^H1121 of injustice ^H5766 not overtake ^H5381 them in Gibeah ^H1390?

When it is My desire ^H185, I will [fn]discipline ^H3256 them;

And the peoples ^H5971 will be gathered ^H622 against ^H5921 them

When they are bound ^H631 for their double ^H8147 guilt ^H5771.

Ephraim ^H669 is a trained ^H3925 heifer ^H5697 that loves ^H157 to thresh ^H1758,

[fn]And I passed ^H5674 over ^H5921 her lovely ^H2898 neck ^H6677;

I will harness ^H7392 Ephraim ^H669,

Judah ^H3063 will plow ^H2790, Jacob ^H3290 will [fn]harrow ^H7702 for himself.

Sow ^H2232 for yourselves, with a view to righteousness ^H6666;

Harvest ^H7114 in accordance ^H6310 with [fn]kindness ^H2617.

Break ^H5214 up your uncultivated ^H5215 ground ^H5215,

For it is time ^H6256 to seek ^H1875 the LORD ^H3068

Until ^H5704 He comes ^H935 and rains ^H3384 righteousness ^H6664 on you.

You have plowed ^H2790 wickedness ^H7562, you have harvested ^H7114 injustice ^H5766,

You have eaten ^H398 the fruit ^H6529 of lies ^H3585.

Because ^H3588 you have trusted ^H982 in your way ^H1870, in your many ^H7230 warriors ^H1368,

An uproar ^H7588 will arise ^H6965 among your people ^H5971,

And all ^H3605 your fortresses ^H4013 will be destroyed ^H7703,

As Shalman ^H8020 destroyed ^H7701 Beth-arbel ^H1009 on the day ^H3117 of battle ^H4421,

When mothers ^H517 were [fn]slaughtered ^H7376 with their children ^H1121.

So ^H3602 it will be done ^H6213 to you at Bethel ^H1008 because ^H4480 H6440 of your great ^H7451 wickedness ^H7451.

At dawn ^H7837 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 will be completely ^H1820 destroyed ^H1820.
