Hosea 10:10
The people - The Assyrians. For their two transgressions - Perhaps, their revolt from David's house, and their idolatry.
8 Also the ahigh places of Aven, bthe sin of Israel,
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
cThey shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
cThey shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
9 “O Israel, you have sinned from the days of aGibeah;
There they stood.
The bbattle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity
Did not1 overtake them.
There they stood.
The bbattle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity

10 When it is My desire, I will chasten them.
aPeoples shall be gathered against them
When I bind them1 for their two transgressions.

When I bind them1 for their two transgressions.
11 Ephraim is aa trained heifer
That loves to thresh grain;
But I harnessed her fair neck,
I will make Ephraim pull a plow.
Judah shall plow;
Jacob shall break his clods.”

Reap in mercy;

For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He bcomes and rains righteousness on you.
Reap in mercy;
aBreak up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He bcomes and rains righteousness on you.
13 aYou have plowed wickedness;
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
Because you trusted in your own way,
In the multitude of your mighty men.
You have reaped iniquity.
You have eaten the fruit of lies,
Because you trusted in your own way,
In the multitude of your mighty men.
