Oséias 10

1 Israel is an unpruned vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly statues.2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will break down their altars, he will destroy their statues.3 For now they will say, We have no king, for we feared not Jehovah; and a king, what can he do for us?4 They speak {mere} words, swearing falsely in making a covenant; therefore shall judgment spring up as hemlock in the furrows of the fields.5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calf of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the idolatrous priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.6 Yea, it shall be carried unto Assyria {as} a present for king Jareb: Ephraim shall be seized with shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.7 As for Samaria her king is cut off as chips upon the face of the waters.8 And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up upon their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us!9 From the days of Gibeah hast thou sinned, O Israel: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.10 At my pleasure will I chastise them; and the peoples shall be assembled against them, when they are bound for their two iniquities.11 And Ephraim is a trained heifer, that loveth to tread out {the corn}; I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to draw; Judah shall plough, Jacob shall break his clods.12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.13 Ye have ploughed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst confide in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.14 And a tumult shall arise among thy peoples, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with the children.15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of the wickedness of your wickedness: at day-break shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

1 Israel was 'n weelderig uitbottende wynstok wat sy vrug voortgebring het; hoe meer vrug hy gedra het, des te meer altare het hy gebou; hoe beter dit met sy land gesteld was, des te beter het hy die klippilare gemaak.2 Vals is hulle hart; nou sal hulle daarvoor boet; Hy sal hulle altare stukkend breek, hulle klippilare verwoes.3 Ja, nou sal hulle sê: Ons het geen koning nie, want ons het die HERE nie gevrees nie; en die koning -- wat sou hy vir ons kan doen?4 Hulle het groot woorde gespreek, vals gesweer, verbonde gesluit -- en soos 'n gifplant spruit die oordeel uit in die vore van die landerye.5 Oor die kalf van Bet-Awen sal die inwoners van Samar¡a besorg wees; want sy volk sal oor hom treur en sy afgodspriesters oor hom sidder, oor sy heerlikheid, omdat dit van hom weggevoer is.6 Hy sal ook self na Assur weggevoer word as 'n geskenk aan koning Jareb; skaamte sal Efraim aangryp, en Israel sal beskaamd staan oor sy eie raadsbesluit.7 Samar¡a word vernietig, sy koning is soos 'n spaander op die water.8 En die hoogtes van Awen, Israel se sonde, word verdelg, dorings en distels sal opskiet op hulle altare; en hulle sal tot die berge sê: Bedek ons! en tot die heuwels: Val op ons!9 Sedert die dae van G¡bea het jy gesondig, o Israel! Daar staan hulle -- moet die stryd teen die kwaaddoeners hulle nie oorval in G¡bea nie?10 Dit is my begeerte om hulle te tugtig, en volke sal teen hulle versamel word as hulle gebind word aan hulle twee ongeregtighede.11 Maar Efraim is 'n geleerde jong koei wat gewillig dors; nogtans sal Ek self oor haar mooi nek gaan: Ek sal Efraim laat trek; Juda sal die ploeg trek, Jakob sal die eg sleep.12 Saai vir julle volgens die eis van geregtigheid, maai in ooreenstemming met die liefde; braak vir julle 'n braakland, want dit is tyd om die HERE te soek, totdat Hy kom en geregtigheid oor julle laat reën.13 Julle het goddeloosheid ingeploeë, julle het slegtigheid gemaai, die vrug van leuens geëet, omdat jy op jou weg vertrou het, op die menigte van jou helde.14 Daarom sal daar oorlogsrumoer onder jou volke ontstaan en al jou vestings verwoes word net soos Salman Bet-Arbel verwoes het in die dag van oorlog: moeders is met kinders en al verpletter.15 Net so het Bet-el aan julle gedoen weens julle ontsettende boosheid; in die môre vroeg is dit gedaan, gedaan met die koning van Israel.
