Israel{H3478} is a luxuriant{H1238} vine,{H1612} that putteth forth{H7737} his fruit:{H6529} according to the abundance{H7230} of his fruit{H6529} he hath multiplied{H7235} his altars;{H4196} according to the goodness{H2896} of their land{H776} they have made goodly{H2895} [ pillars.]{H4676}

Their heart{H3820} is divided;{H2505} now shall they be found guilty:{H816} he will smite{H6202} their altars,{H4196} he will destroy{H7703} their pillars.{H4676}

Surely now shall they say,{H559} We have no king;{H4428} for we fear{H3372} not Jehovah;{H3068} and the king,{H4428} what can he do{H6213} for us?

They speak{H1696} vain words,{H1697} swearing{H422} falsely{H7723} in making{H3772} covenants:{H1285} therefore judgment{H4941} springeth up{H6524} as hemlock{H7219} in the furrows{H8525} of the field.{H7704}

The inhabitants{H7934} of Samaria{H8111} shall be in terror{H1481} for the calves{H5697} of Beth-aven;{H1007} for the people{H5971} thereof shall mourn{H56} over it, and the priests{H3649} thereof that rejoiced{H1523} over it, for the glory{H3519} thereof, because it is departed{H1540} from it.

It also shall be carried{H2986} unto Assyria{H804} for a present{H4503} to king{H4428} Jareb:{H3377} Ephraim{H669} shall receive{H3947} shame,{H1317} and Israel{H3478} shall be ashamed{H954} of his own counsel.{H6098}

[As for] Samaria,{H8111} her king{H4428} is cut off,{H1820} as foam{H7110} upon{H6440} the water.{H4325}

The high places{H1116} also of Aven,{H206} the sin{H2403} of Israel,{H3478} shall be destroyed:{H8045} the thorn{H6975} and the thistle{H1863} shall come up{H5927} on their altars;{H4196} and they shall say{H559} to the mountains,{H2022} Cover{H3680} us; and to the hills,{H1389} Fall{H5307} on us.

O Israel,{H3478} thou hast sinned{H2398} from the days{H3117} of Gibeah:{H1390} there they stood;{H5975} the battle{H4421} against the children{H1121} of iniquity{H5932} doth not overtake{H5381} them in Gibeah.{H1390}

When it is my desire,{H185} I will chastise{H3256} them; and the peoples{H5971} shall be gathered{H622} against them, when they are bound{H631} to their two{H8147} transgressions.{H5869}

And Ephraim{H669} is a heifer{H5697} that is taught,{H3925} that loveth{H157} to tread out{H1758} [the grain]; but I have passed over{H5674} upon her fair{H2898} neck:{H6677} I will set a rider{H7392} on Ephraim;{H669} Judah{H3063} shall plow,{H2790} Jacob{H3290} shall break his clods.{H7702}

Sow{H2232} to yourselves in{H6310} righteousness,{H6666} reap{H7114} according to kindness;{H2617} break up{H5214} your fallow ground;{H5215} for it is time{H6256} to seek{H1875} Jehovah,{H3068} till he come{H935} and rain{H3384} righteousness{H6664} upon you.

Ye have plowed{H2790} wickedness,{H7562} ye have reaped{H7114} iniquity;{H5766} ye have eaten{H398} the fruit{H6529} of lies;{H3585} for thou didst trust{H982} in thy way,{H1870} in the multitude{H7230} of thy mighty men.{H1368}

Therefore shall a tumult{H7588} arise{H6965} among thy people,{H5971} and all thy fortresses{H4013} shall be destroyed,{H7703} as Shalman{H8020} destroyed{H7701} Beth-arbel{H1009} in the day{H3117} of battle:{H4421} the mother{H517} was dashed in pieces{H7376} with her children.{H1121}

So{H3602} shall Beth-el{H1008} do{H6213} unto you because{H6440} of your great{H7451} wickedness:{H7451} at daybreak{H7837} shall the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} be utterly{H1820} cut off.{H1820}
