Hosea 10 (WEBP)
[1] Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
[2] Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
[3] Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear Yahweh; and the king, what can he do for us?”
[4] They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
[5] The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven, for its people will mourn over it, along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
[6] It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
[7] Samaria and her king float away like a twig on the water.
[8] The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
[9] “Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.
[10] When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them when they are bound to their two transgressions.
[11] Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.
[12] Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
[13] You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
[14] Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
[15] So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.

Hosea 10 (KJVS)
[1] Israel H3478 [is] an empty H1238 (8802) vine H1612, he bringeth forth H7737 (8762) fruit H6529 unto himself: according to the multitude H7230 of his fruit H6529 he hath increased H7235 (8689) the altars H4196; according to the goodness H2896 of his land H776 they have made goodly H2895 (8689) images H4676.
[2] Their heart H3820 is divided H2505 (8804); now shall they be found faulty H816 (8799): he shall break down H6202 (8799) their altars H4196, he shall spoil H7703 (8779) their images H4676.
[3] For now they shall say H559 (8799), We have no king H4428, because we feared H3372 (8804) not the LORD H3068; what then should a king H4428 do H6213 (8799) to us?
[4] They have spoken H1696 (8765) words H1697, swearing H422 (8800) falsely H7723 in making H3772 (8800) a covenant H1285: thus judgment H4941 springeth up H6524 (8804) as hemlock H7219 in the furrows H8525 of the field H7704.
[5] The inhabitants H7934 of Samaria H8111 shall fear H1481 (8799) because of the calves H5697 of Bethaven H1007: for the people H5971 thereof shall mourn H56 (8804) over it, and the priests H3649 thereof [that] rejoiced H1523 (8799) on it, for the glory H3519 thereof, because it is departed H1540 (8804) from it.
[6] It shall be also carried H2986 (8714) unto Assyria H804 [for] a present H4503 to king H4428 Jareb H3377: Ephraim H669 shall receive H3947 (8799) shame H1317, and Israel H3478 shall be ashamed H954 (8799) of his own counsel H6098.
[7] [As for] Samaria H8111, her king H4428 is cut off H1820 (8738) as the foam H7110 upon H6440 the water H4325.
[8] The high places H1116 also of Aven H206, the sin H2403 of Israel H3478, shall be destroyed H8045 (8738): the thorn H6975 and the thistle H1863 shall come up H5927 (8799) on their altars H4196; and they shall say H559 (8804) to the mountains H2022, Cover H3680 (8761) us; and to the hills H1389, Fall H5307 (8798) on us.
[9] O Israel H3478, thou hast sinned H2398 (8804) from the days H3117 of Gibeah H1390: there they stood H5975 (8804): the battle H4421 in Gibeah H1390 against the children H1121 of iniquity H5932 did not overtake H5381 (8686) them.
[10] [It is] in my desire H185 that I should chastise H3256 (8799) them; and the people H5971 shall be gathered H622 (8795) against them, when they shall bind H631 (8800) themselves in their two H8147 furrows H5869.
[11] And Ephraim H669 [is as] an heifer H5697 [that is] taught H3925 (8794), [and] loveth H157 (8802) to tread out H1758 (8800) [the corn]; but I passed over H5674 (8804) upon her fair H2898 neck H6677: I will make Ephraim H669 to ride H7392 (8686); Judah H3063 shall plow H2790 (8799), [and] Jacob H3290 shall break his clods H7702 (8762).
[12] Sow H2232 (8798) to yourselves in righteousness H6666, reap H7114 (8798) in H6310 mercy H2617; break up H5214 (8798) your fallow ground H5215: for [it is] time H6256 to seek H1875 (8800) the LORD H3068, till he come H935 (8799) and rain H3384 (8686) righteousness H6664 upon you.
[13] Ye have plowed H2790 (8804) wickedness H7562, ye have reaped H7114 (8804) iniquity H5766; ye have eaten H398 (8804) the fruit H6529 of lies H3585: because thou didst trust H982 (8804) in thy way H1870, in the multitude H7230 of thy mighty men H1368.
[14] Therefore shall a tumult H7588 arise H6965 (8804) among thy people H5971, and all thy fortresses H4013 shall be spoiled H7703 (8714), as Shalman H8020 spoiled H7701 Betharbel H1009 in the day H3117 of battle H4421: the mother H517 was dashed in pieces H7376 (8795) upon [her] children H1121.
[15] So H3602 shall Bethel H1008 do H6213 (8804) unto you because H6440 of your great H7451 wickedness H7451: in a morning H7837 shall the king H4428 of Israel H3478 utterly H1820 (8736) be cut off H1820 (8738).
Young’s Literal Translation
Hosea 10 (YLT)
[1] ‘An empty vine is Israel, Fruit he maketh like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He hath multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made goodly standing-pillars.
[2] Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.
[3] For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared Jehovah, And the king-what doth he for us?
[4] They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a field.
[5] For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria, Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for it hath removed from it,
[6] Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king, Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own counsel.
[7] Cut off is Samaria! Its king is as a chip on the face of the waters.
[8] And destroyed have been high places of Aven, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall upon us.
[9] From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Not overtake them in Gibeah doth battle, Because of sons of perverseness.
[10] When I desire, then I do bind them, And gathered against them have peoples, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
[11] And Ephraim is a trained heifer-loving to thresh, And I-I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause one to ride Ephraim, Plough doth Judah, harrow for him doth Jacob.
[12] Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you.
[13] Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.
[14] And rise doth a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
[15] Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel!
