chapter 10
1
Israel
a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it: according to the
multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied altars, according to the plenty of
his land he hath abounded with idols.
2 Their heart is divided: now they shall perish: he
shall break down their idols, he shall destroy their altars.
3 For now they shall say: We have no king: because we
fear not the Lord: and what shall a king do to us?
4 You speak words of an unprofitable vision, and you
shall make a covenant: and judgment shall spring up as bitterness in the
furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the king
of Bethaven: for the people thereof have mourned over it, and the wardens of
its temple that rejoiced over it in its glory because it is departed from it.
6 For itself also is carried into Assyria, a present to
the avenging king: shame shall fall upon Ephraim, and Israel shall be
confounded in his own will.
7 Samaria hath made her king to pass as froth upon the
face of the water.
8 And the high places of the idol, the sin of Israel
shall be destroyed: the bur and the thistle shall grow up over their altars:
and they shall say to the mountains: Cover us; and to the hills: Fall upon us.
9 From the days of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there
they stood: the battle in Gabaa against the children of iniquity shall not
overtake them.
10 According to my desire I will chastise them: and the
nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised
for their two iniquities.
11 Ephraim is a heifer taught to love to tread out
corn, but I passed over upon the beauty of her neck: I will ride upon Ephraim,
Juda shall plough, Jacob shall break the furrows for himself.
12 Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth
of mercy, break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when
he shall come that shall teach you justice.
13 You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped
iniquity, you have eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy
ways, in the multitude of thy strong ones.
14 A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy
fortresses shall be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed, by the house of him
that judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon
her children.
15 So hath Bethel done to you, because of the evil of
your iniquities.
