NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hosea 10

Retribution for Israel's Sin

1

Israelh3478 is a  1luxurianth1238a  avineh1612; He producesh7737b fruith6529 for himself. The moreh7230 his fruith6529, The moreh7235a altarsh4196 he  bmadeh7235a; The  2richerh2896b his landh776, The betterh3190  3he madeh3190 the sacred  cpillarsh4676.

2

Their hearth3820 is  1 afaithlessh2505b; Nowh6258 they must bearh816 their  bguilth816.  2The LORD will  cbreakh6202 downh6202 their altarsh4196 And destroyh7703 their sacred pillarsh4676.

3

Surelyh3588 nowh6258 they will sayh559, "We haveh369  anoh369 kingh4428, For we do not revereh3372a the LORDh3068. As for the kingh4428, whath4100 can he doh6213a for us?"

4

They speakh1696 mere wordsh1697,  1With  aworthlessh7723 oathsh422 they makeh3772 covenantsh1285; And  bjudgmenth4941 sproutsh6524a like poisonoush7219 weedsh7219 in the furrowsh8525 of the fieldh7706a.

5

The inhabitantsh7934 of Samariah8111 will fearh1481c For the  1 acalfh5697 of  bBeth-avenh1007b. Indeedh3588, its peopleh5971a will mournh56 for it, And its  cidolatroush3649 priestsh3649  2will cryh1523 out overh5921 it, Overh5921 its  dgloryh3519b, sinceh3588 it has departedh1540 from it.

6

The thing itselfh1571 will be carriedh2986 to  aAssyriah804b As tributeh4503 to  1 bKingh4428 Jarebh3377; Ephraimh669 will  2be  cseizedh3947 with shameh1317 And Israelh3478 will be ashamedh954 of its  down counselh6098.

7

Samariah8111 will be  acuth1820 offh1820 with her kingh4428 Like a stickh7110b on the surfaceh6440 of the waterh4325.

8

Also the  ahighh1116 placesh1116 of Avenh206, the  bsinh2398 of Israelh3478, will be destroyedh8045;  cThornh6975 and thistleh1863 will growh5927 on their altarsh4196; Then they will  dsayh559 to the mountainsh2022, "Coverh3680 us!" And to the hillsh1389, "Fallh5307 on us!"

9

From the daysh3117 of Gibeahh1390 you have sinnedh2398, O Israelh3478; Thereh8033 they standh5975! Will not the battleh4421 againsth5921 the sonsh1121 of iniquityh5767b overtakeh5381 them in Gibeahh1390?

10

When it is My  adesireh185, I will  1 bchastiseh3256 them; And  cthe peoplesh5971a will be gatheredh622 againsth5921 them When they are boundh631 for their doubleh8147 guilth5772a.

11

Ephraimh669 is a trainedh3925  aheiferh5697 that lovesh157 to threshh1758, But I will  bcomeh5674a overh5921 her fairh2898 neckh6677 with a yoke; I will harnessh7392 Ephraimh669, Judahh3063 will plowh2790a, Jacobh3290 will harrowh7702 for himself.

12

 aSowh2232 with a view to righteousnessh6666, Reaph7114b in accordanceh6310 with  1kindnessh2617a;  bBreakh5214 up your fallowh5215b groundh5215b, For it is timeh6256 to  cseekh1875 the LORDh3068 Untilh5704 He  dcomesh935 to  2 erainh3384 righteousnessh6664 on you.

13

You have  aplowedh2790a wickednessh7562, you have reapedh7114b injusticeh5767b, You have eatenh398 the fruith6529 of  bliesh3585. Becauseh3588 you have trustedh982 in your wayh1870, in your  cnumeroush7230 warriorsh1368,

14

Therefore a tumulth7588 will ariseh6965 among your peopleh5971a, And allh3605 your  afortressesh4013 will be destroyedh7703, As Shalmanh8020 destroyedh7701 Beth-arbelh1009 on the dayh3117 of battleh4421, When  bmothersh517 were dashedh7376 in piecesh7376 with their childrenh1121.

15

Thush3602 it will be doneh6213a to you at Bethelh1008 becauseh4480h6440 of your greath7463a wickednessh7463a. At dawnh7837 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 will be completelyh1820 cuth1820 offh1820.
