28:010:004 They have spoken words, swearing falsely
in making a covenant:
thus
judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of
the
field.
28:010:005 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because
of the calves of
Bethaven:
for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the
priests
thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof,
because
it is departed from it.
28:010:006 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for
a present to king
Jareb:
Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be
ashamed
of his own counsel.
28:010:007 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as
the foam upon the
water.
28:010:008 The high places also of Aven, the sin of
Israel, shall be
destroyed:
the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their
altars;
and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and
to
the
hills, Fall on us.
28:010:009 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days
of Gibeah: there they
stood:
the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
did
not overtake them.
28:010:010 It is in my desire that I should chastise
them; and the people
shall
be gathered against them, when they shall bind
themselves
in their two furrows.
28:010:011 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught,
and loveth to
tread
out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck:
I
will
make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall
break
his clods.
28:010:012 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap
in mercy; break up
your
fallow ground: for it is time to seek the lord,
till he
come
and rain righteousness upon you.
28:010:013 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped
iniquity; ye have
eaten
the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in
thy way,
in
the multitude of thy mighty men.
28:010:014 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy
people, and all thy
fortresses
shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in
the
day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces
upon her
children.
28:010:015 So shall Bethel do unto you because of
your great wickedness:
in
a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
28:011:001 When Israel was a child, then I loved him,
and called my son
out
of Egypt.
28:011:002 As they called them, so they went from
them: they sacrificed
unto
Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
28:011:003 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them
by their arms; but
they
knew not that I healed them.
28:011:004 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands
of love: and I was
to
them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws,
and I
laid
meat unto them.
