And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
