Israel is reproved and threatened for their impiety and idolatry.
 10:1 ¶
Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied [her] altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars. |
|
 10:1 ¶
Israelº
[is] an emptyºº
vine,º
he bringeth forthºº
fruitº
unto himself: according to the multitudeº
of his fruitº
he hath increasedºº
the altars;º
according to the goodnessº
of his landº
they have made goodlyººº
images.º |
 10:2
They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn. |
|
 10:2
Their heartº
is divided;ºº
nowº
shall they be found faulty:ºº
heº
shall break downºº
their altars,º
he shall spoilºº
their images.º |
 10:3
Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord: |
|
 10:3
Forº
nowº
they shall say,ºº
We have noº
king,º
becauseº
we fearedºº
notºº
Yahweh;º
whatº
then should a kingº
doºº
to us? |
 10:4
and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field. |
|
 10:4
They have spokenºº
words,º
swearingºº
falselyº
in makingºº
a covenant:º
thus judgmentº
springeth upºº
as hemlockº
inº
the furrowsº
of the field.º |
 10:5
The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them. |
|
 10:5
The inhabitantsº
of Samariaº
shall fearºº
because of the calvesº
of Bethaven:º
forº
the peopleº
thereof shall mournºº
overº
it, and the priestsº
thereof [that] rejoicedºº
onº
it, forº
the gloryº
thereof, becauseº
it is departedºº
fromº
it. |
 10:6
And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel. |
|
 10:6
It shall be alsoº
carriedºº
unto Assyriaº
[for] a presentº
to kingº
Jareb:º
Ephraimº
shall receiveºº
shame,º
and Israelº
shall be ashamedºº
of his own counsel.ºº |
 10:7
Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water. |
|
 10:7
[As for] Samaria,º
her kingº
is cut offºº
as the foamº
uponºº
the water.º |
 10:8
And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. |
|
 10:8
The high placesº
also of Aven,º
the sinº
of Israel,º
shall be destroyed:ºº
the thornº
and the thistleº
shall come upºº
onº
their altars;º
and they shall sayºº
to the mountains,º
Coverºº
us; and to the hills,º
Fallºº
onº
us. |
 10:9
From the time the hills [existed] Israel has sinned: there they stood: war [waged] against the children of iniquity |
|
 10:9
O Israel,º
thou hast sinnedºº
from the daysºº
of Gibeah:º
thereº
they stood:ºº
the battleº
in Gibeahº
againstº
the childrenº
of iniquityº
did notº
overtakeºº
them. |
 10:10
to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins, |
|
 10:10
[It is] in my desireº
that I should chastiseºº
them; and the peopleº
shall be gatheredºº
againstº
them, when they shall bindºº
themselves in their twoº
furrows.º |
 10:11
Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fairest part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Judah{gr.Juda} in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him. |
|
 10:11
And Ephraimº
[is as] an heiferº
[that is] taught,ºº
[and] lovethºº
to tread outºº
[the corn]; but Iº
passed overºº
uponº
her fairº
neck:º
I will make Ephraimº
to ride;ºº
Judahº
shall plow,ºº
[and] Jacobº
shall break his clods.ºº |
 10:12
Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light ye for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you. |
|
 10:12
Sowºº
to yourselves in righteousness,º
reapºº
inº
mercy;º
break upºº
your fallow ground:º
for [it is] timeº
to seekººº
Yahweh,º
tillº
he comeºº
and rainºº
righteousnessº
upon you. |
 10:13
Wherefore have ye passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? ye have eaten false fruit; for thou has trusted in thy sins, in the abundance of thy power. |
|
 10:13
Ye have plowedºº
wickedness,º
ye have reapedºº
iniquity;º
ye have eatenºº
the fruitº
of lies:º
becauseº
thou didst trustºº
in thy way,º
in the multitudeº
of thy mighty men.º |
 10:14
Therefore shall destruction rise up among thy people, and all thy strong places shall be ruined: as a prince Solomon [departed] out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children, |
|
 10:14
Therefore shall a tumultº
ariseºº
among thy people,º
and allº
thy fortressesº
shall be spoiled,ºº
as Shalmanº
spoiledº
Betharbelº
in the dayº
of battle:º
the motherº
was dashed in piecesºº
uponº
[her] children.º |
 10:15
thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins. |
|
 10:15
Soº
shall Bethelº
doºº
unto you becauseºº
of your greatº
wickedness:º
in a morningº
shall the kingº
of Israelº
utterlyºº
be cut off.ºº |
