1 # Israel <03478> is an empty <01238> (8802) vine <01612>, he bringeth forth <07737> (8762) fruit <06529> unto himself: according to the multitude <07230> of his fruit <06529> he hath increased <07235> (8689) the altars <04196> ; according to the goodness <02896> of his land <0776> they have made goodly <02895> (8689) images <04676>.
2 Their heart <03820> is divided <02505> (8804); now shall they be found faulty <0816> (8799): he shall break down <06202> (8799) their altars <04196>, he shall spoil <07703> (8779) their images <04676>.
3 For now they shall say <0559> (8799), We have no king <04428>, because we feared <03372> (8804) not the LORD <03068>; what then should a king <04428> do <06213> (8799) to us?
4 They have spoken <01696> (8765) words <01697>, swearing <0422> (8800) falsely <07723> in making <03772> (8800) a covenant <01285>: thus judgment <04941> springeth up <06524> (8804) as hemlock <07219> in the furrows <08525> of the field <07704>.
5 The inhabitants <07934> of Samaria <08111> shall fear <01481> (8799) because of the calves <05697> of Bethaven <01007>: for the people <05971> thereof shall mourn <056> (8804) over it, and the priests <03649> thereof that rejoiced <01523> (8799) on it, for the glory <03519> thereof, because it is departed <01540> (8804) from it.
6 It shall be also carried <02986> (8714) unto Assyria <0804> for a present <04503> to king <04428> Jareb <03377>: Ephraim <0669> shall receive <03947> (8799) shame <01317>, and Israel <03478> shall be ashamed <0954> (8799) of his own counsel <06098>.
7 As for Samaria <08111>, her king <04428> is cut off <01820> (8738) as the foam <07110> upon <06440> the water <04325>.
8 The high places <01116> also of Aven <0206>, the sin <02403> of Israel <03478>, shall be destroyed <08045> (8738): the thorn <06975> and the thistle <01863> shall come up <05927> (8799) on their altars <04196>; and they shall say <0559> (8804) to the mountains <02022>, Cover <03680> (8761) us; and to the hills <01389>, Fall <05307> (8798) on us.
9 # O Israel <03478>, thou hast sinned <02398> (8804) from the days <03117> of Gibeah <01390>: there they stood <05975> (8804): the battle <04421> in Gibeah <01390> against the children <01121> of iniquity <05932> did not overtake <05381> (8686) them.
10 It is in my desire <0185> that I should chastise <03256> (8799) them; and the people <05971> shall be gathered <0622> (8795) against them, when they shall bind <0631> (8800) themselves in their two <08147> furrows <05869>.
11 And Ephraim <0669> is as an heifer <05697> that is taught <03925> (8794), and loveth <0157> (8802) to tread out <01758> (8800) the corn; but I passed over <05674> (8804) upon her fair <02898> neck <06677>: I will make Ephraim <0669> to ride <07392> (8686); Judah <03063> shall plow <02790> (8799), and Jacob <03290> shall break his clods <07702> (8762).
12 Sow <02232> (8798) to yourselves in righteousness <06666>, reap <07114> (8798) in <06310> mercy <02617>; break up <05214> (8798) your fallow ground <05215>: for it is time <06256> to seek <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068>, till he come <0935> (8799) and rain <03384> (8686) righteousness <06664> upon you.
13 Ye have plowed <02790> (8804) wickedness <07562>, ye have reaped <07114> (8804) iniquity <05766> ; ye have eaten <0398> (8804) the fruit <06529> of lies <03585>: because thou didst trust <0982> (8804) in thy way <01870> , in the multitude <07230> of thy mighty men <01368>.
14 Therefore shall a tumult <07588> arise <06965> (8804) among thy people <05971>, and all thy fortresses <04013> shall be spoiled <07703> (8714), as Shalman <08020> spoiled <07701> Betharbel <01009> in the day <03117> of battle <04421> : the mother <0517> was dashed in pieces <07376> (8795) upon her children <01121>.
15 So <03602> shall Bethel <01008> do <06213> (8804) unto you because <06440> of your great <07451> wickedness <07451>: in a morning <07837> shall the king <04428> of Israel <03478> utterly <01820> (8736) be cut off <01820> (8738).
