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 (QalActPtc) vine, H1612 he bringeth forth H7737 (PielImpf) fruit§ H6529 unto himself: according to the multitude H7230 of his fruit H6529 he hath increased H7235 (HiphPerf) the altars; H4196 according to the goodness H2896 of his land H776 they have made goodly H2895 (HiphPerf) images.§ H4676
[2] Their heart H3820 is divided;§ H2505 (QalPerf) now shall they be found faulty: H816 (QalImpf) he shall break§ down H6202 (QalImpf) their altars, H4196 he shall spoil H7703 (PoelImpf) their images. H4676
[3] For now they shall say, H559 (QalImpf) We have no king, H4428 because we feared H3372 (QalPerf) not the Lord; H3068 what then should a king H4428 do H6213 (QalImpf) to us?
[4] They have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) words, H1697 swearing H422 (QalInf) falsely H7723 in making H3772 (QalInf) a covenant: H1285 thus judgment H4941 springeth up H6524 (QalPerf) as hemlock H7219 in the furrows H8525 of the field. H7704
[5] The inhabitants H7934 of Samaria H8111 shall fear H1481 (QalImpf) because of the calves H5697 of Beth-aven: H1007 for the people H5971 thereof shall mourn H56 (QalPerf) over it, and the priests H3649 thereof that rejoiced H1523 (QalImpf) on it, for the glory H3519 thereof, because it is departed H1540 (QalPerf) from it.
[6] It shall be also carried H2986 (HophImpf) unto Assyria H804 for a present H4503 to king H4428 Jareb: H3377 Ephraim H669 shall receive H3947 (QalImpf) shame, H1317 and Israel H3478 shall be ashamed H954 (QalImpf) of his own counsel. H6098
[7] As for Samaria, H8111 her king H4428 is cut off H1820 (NiphPerf) 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 (NiphPerf) the thorn H6975 and the thistle H1863 shall come up H5927 (QalImpf) on their altars; H4196 and they shall say H559 (QalPerf) to the mountains, H2022 Cover H3680 (PielImpv) us; and to the hills, H1389 Fall H5307 (QalImpv) on us.
[9] O Israel, H3478 thou hast sinned H2398 (QalPerf) from the days H3117 of Gibeah: H1390 there they stood: H5975 (QalPerf) the battle H4421 in Gibeah H1390 against the children H1121 of iniquity H5932 did not overtake H5381 (HiphImpf) them.
[10] It is in my desire H185 that I should chastise H3256 (QalImpf) them; and the people H5971 shall be gathered H622 (PualPerf) against them, when they shall bind H631 (QalInf) themselves in their two H8147 furrows. H5869
[11] And Ephraim H669 is as an heifer H5697 that is taught, H3925 (PualPtc) and loveth H157 (QalActPtc) to tread out H1758 (QalInf) the corn; but I passed over H5674 (QalPerf) upon her fair H2898 neck:§ H6677 I will make Ephraim H669 to ride; H7392 (HiphImpf) Judah H3063 shall plow, H2790 (QalImpf) and Jacob H3290 shall break his clods. H7702 (PielImpf)
[12] Sow H2232 (QalImpv) to yourselves in righteousness, H6666 reap H7114 (QalImpv) in H6310 mercy; H2617 break up H5214 (QalImpv) your fallow ground: H5215 for it is time H6256 to seek H1875 (QalInf) the Lord, H3068 till he come H935 (QalImpf) and rain H3384 (HiphImpf) righteousness H6664 upon you.
[13] Ye have plowed H2790 (QalPerf) wickedness, H7562 ye have reaped H7114 (QalPerf) iniquity; H5766 ye have eaten H398 (QalPerf) the fruit H6529 of lies: H3585 because thou didst trust H982 (QalPerf) in thy way, H1870 in the multitude H7230 of thy mighty men. H1368
[14] Therefore shall a tumult H7588 arise H6965 (QalPerf) among thy people, H5971 and all thy fortresses H4013 shall be spoiled, H7703 (HophImpf) as Shalman H8020 spoiled H7701 Beth-arbel H1009 in the day H3117 of battle: H4421 the mother H517 was dashed in pieces H7376 (PualPerf) upon her children. H1121
[15] So H3602 shall Beth-el H1008 do H6213 (QalPerf) unto you because H6440 of your great H7451 wickedness:§ H7451 in a morning H7837 shall the king H4428 of Israel H3478 utterly H1820 (NiphInf) be cut off. H1820 (NiphPerf)

Hosea 10 (BYZ)
[1] αμπελος ευκληματουσα ισραηλ ο καρπος αυτης ευθηνων κατα το πληθος των καρπων αυτου επληθυνεν τα θυσιαστηρια κατα τα αγαθα της γης αυτου ωκοδομησεν στηλας
[2] εμερισαν καρδιας αυτων νυν αφανισθησονται αυτος κατασκαψει τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων ταλαιπωρησουσιν αι στηλαι αυτων
[3] διοτι νυν ερουσιν ουκ εστιν βασιλευς ημιν οτι ουκ εφοβηθημεν τον κυριον ο δε βασιλευς τι ποιησει ημιν
[4] λαλων ρηματα προφασεις ψευδεις διαθησεται διαθηκην ανατελει ως αγρωστις κριμα επι χερσον αγρου
[5] τω μοσχω του οικου ων παροικησουσιν οι κατοικουντες σαμαρειαν οτι επενθησεν ο λαος αυτου επ αυτον και καθως παρεπικραναν αυτον επιχαρουνται επι την δοξαν αυτου οτι μετωκισθη απ αυτου
[6] και αυτον εις ασσυριους δησαντες απηνεγκαν ξενια τω βασιλει ιαριμ εν δοματι εφραιμ δεξεται και αισχυνθησεται ισραηλ εν τη βουλη αυτου
[7] απερριψεν σαμαρεια βασιλεα αυτης ως φρυγανον επι προσωπου υδατος
[8] και εξαρθησονται βωμοι ων αμαρτηματα του ισραηλ ακανθαι και τριβολοι αναβησονται επι τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων και ερουσιν τοις ορεσιν καλυψατε ημας και τοις βουνοις πεσατε εφ ημας
[9] αφ ου οι βουνοι ημαρτεν ισραηλ εκει εστησαν ου μη καταλαβη αυτους εν τω βουνω πολεμος επι τα τεκνα αδικιας
[10] ηλθεν παιδευσαι αυτους και συναχθησονται επ αυτους λαοι εν τω παιδευεσθαι αυτους εν ταις δυσιν αδικιαις αυτων
[11] εφραιμ δαμαλις δεδιδαγμενη αγαπαν νεικος εγω δε επελευσομαι επι το καλλιστον του τραχηλου αυτης επιβιβω εφραιμ και παρασιωπησομαι ιουδαν ενισχυσει αυτω ιακωβ
[12] σπειρατε εαυτοις εις δικαιοσυνην τρυγησατε εις καρπον ζωης φωτισατε εαυτοις φως γνωσεως εκζητησατε τον κυριον εως του ελθειν γενηματα δικαιοσυνης υμιν
[13] ινα τι παρεσιωπησατε ασεβειαν και τας αδικιας αυτης ετρυγησατε εφαγετε καρπον ψευδη οτι ηλπισας εν τοις αρμασιν σου εν πληθει δυναμεως σου
[14] και εξαναστησεται απωλεια εν τω λαω σου και παντα τα περιτετειχισμενα σου οιχησεται ως αρχων σαλαμαν εκ του οικου ιεροβααλ εν ημεραις πολεμου μητερα επι τεκνοις ηδαφισαν
[15] ουτως ποιησω υμιν οικος του ισραηλ απο προσωπου κακιων υμων ορθρου απερριφησαν απερριφη βασιλευς ισραηλ
