10:1 Israel 3478 [is] an empty 1238 8802 vine 1612, he bringeth forth 7737 8762 fruit 6529 unto himself: according to the multitude 7230 of his fruit 6529 he hath increased 7235 8689 the altars 4196; according to the goodness 2896 of his land 776 they have made goodly 2895 8689 images 4676.(an…: or, a vine emptying the fruit which it giveth)(images: Heb. statues, or, standing images)

10:2 Their heart 3820 is divided 2505 8804; now shall they be found faulty 816 8799: he shall break down 6202 8799 their altars 4196, he shall spoil 7703 8779 their images 4676.(Their heart…: or, He hath divided their heart)(break…: Heb. behead)(images: Heb. statues, or, standing images)

10:3 For now they shall say 559 8799, We have no king 4428, because we feared 3372 8804 not the LORD 3068; what then should a king 4428 do 6213 8799 to us?

10:4 They have spoken 1696 8765 words 1697, swearing 422 8800 falsely 7723 in making 3772 8800 a covenant 1285: thus judgment 4941 springeth up 6524 8804 as hemlock 7219 in the furrows 8525 of the field 7704.

10:5 The inhabitants 7934 of Samaria 8111 shall fear 1481 8799 because of the calves 5697 of Bethaven 1007: for the people 5971 thereof shall mourn 56 8804 over it, and the priests 3649 thereof [that] rejoiced 1523 8799 on it, for the glory 3519 thereof, because it is departed 1540 8804 from it.(the priests…: or, Chemarim)

10:6 It shall be also carried 2986 8714 unto Assyria 804 [for] a present 4503 to king 4428 Jareb 3377: Ephraim 669 shall receive 3947 8799 shame 1317, and Israel 3478 shall be ashamed 954 8799 of his own counsel 6098.

10:7 [As for] Samaria 8111, her king 4428 is cut off 1820 8738 as the foam 7110 upon 6440 the water 4325.(the water: Heb. the face of the water)

10:8 The high places 1116 also of Aven 206, the sin 2403 of Israel 3478, shall be destroyed 8045 8738: the thorn 6975 and the thistle 1863 shall come up 5927 8799 on their altars 4196; and they shall say 559 8804 to the mountains 2022, Cover 3680 8761 us; and to the hills 1389, Fall 5307 8798 on us.

10:9 O Israel 3478, thou hast sinned 2398 8804 from the days 3117 of Gibeah 1390: there they stood 5975 8804: the battle 4421 in Gibeah 1390 against the children 1121 of iniquity 5932 did not overtake 5381 8686 them.

10:10 [It is] in my desire 185 that I should chastise 3256 8799 them; and the people 5971 shall be gathered 622 8795 against them, when they shall bind 631 8800 themselves in their two 8147 furrows 5869.(when…: or, when I shall bind them for their two transgressions, or, in their two habitations)

10:11 And Ephraim 669 [is as] an heifer 5697 [that is] taught 3925 8794, [and] loveth 157 8802 to tread out 1758 8800 [the corn]; but I passed over 5674 8804 upon her fair 2898 neck 6677: I will make Ephraim 669 to ride 7392 8686; Judah 3063 shall plow 2790 8799, [and] Jacob 3290 shall break his clods 7702 8762.(her…: Heb. the beauty of her neck)

10:12 Sow 2232 8798 to yourselves in righteousness 6666, reap 7114 8798 in 6310 mercy 2617; break up 5214 8798 your fallow ground 5215: for [it is] time 6256 to seek 1875 8800 the LORD 3068, till he come 935 8799 and rain 3384 8686 righteousness 6664 upon you.

10:13 Ye have plowed 2790 8804 wickedness 7562, ye have reaped 7114 8804 iniquity 5766; ye have eaten 398 8804 the fruit 6529 of lies 3585: because thou didst trust 982 8804 in thy way 1870, in the multitude 7230 of thy mighty men 1368.

10:14 Therefore shall a tumult 7588 arise 6965 8804 among thy people 5971, and all thy fortresses 4013 shall be spoiled 7703 8714, as Shalman 8020 spoiled 7701 Betharbel 1009 in the day 3117 of battle 4421: the mother 517 was dashed in pieces 7376 8795 upon [her] children 1121.
