Hosea 10:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ I will attack^[a] this sinful people and punish them. Nations will join together against them, and they will be punished for their many sins.

¹¹ “Israel was once like a well-trained young cow, ready and willing to thresh grain. But I decided to put a yoke^[b] on her beautiful neck and to harness her for harder work. I made Judah pull the plow and Israel pull the harrow. ^12 (A)I said, ‘Plow new ground for yourselves, plant righteousness, and reap the blessings that your devotion to me will produce. It is time for you to turn to me, your Lord, and I will come and pour out blessings upon you.’
