Hosea 10:11

Israel Is Like A Cow That Threshed Grain

¹⁰ When I please, then will I chastise them, - and there shall be gathered together against them - peoples, they being harnessed to their two Iniquities; ¹¹ But, Ephraim, shall be a heifer broken in, loving to tread out corn, when, I, have passed over upon her fair neck, - I will drive Ephraim, Judah, shall plow, Jacob, shall harrow to him. ¹² Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap ye at thc bidding of lovingkindness, furrow to yourselves the newly-ploughed soil, - then will be the time to seek Yahweh, until he come, that he may rain down righteousness for you.
