Hosea 10:14

Israel Is Like A Cow That Threshed Grain

¹³ You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice;
you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your own way
and in your large number of soldiers,
¹⁴ the roar of battle will rise against your people,
and all your fortifications will be demolished
in a day of war,
like Shalman’s destruction of Beth-arbel.
Mothers will be dashed to pieces
along with their children.
¹⁵ So it will be done to you, Bethel,
because of your extreme evil.
At dawn the king of Israel will be totally destroyed.
