Israel
[is]
an
empty
vine,
he
bringeth
forth
fruit
unto
himself:
according
to
the
multitude
of
his
fruit
he
hath
increased
the
altars;
according
to
the
goodness
of
his
land
they
have
made
goodly
images.
2
Their
heart
is
divided;
now
shall
they
be
found
faulty:
he
shall
break
down
their
altars,
he
shall
spoil
their
images.
3
For
now
they
shall
say,
We
have
no
king,
because
we
feared
not
the
LORD;
what
then
should
a
king
do
to
4
They
have
spoken
words,
swearing
falsely
in
making
a
covenant:
thus
judgment
springeth
up
as
hemlock
in
the
furrows
of
the
field.
5
The
inhabitants
of
Samaria
shall
fear
because
of
the
calves
of
Bethaven:
for
the
people
thereof
shall
mourn
over
it,
and
the
priests
thereof
[that]
rejoiced
on
it,
for
the
glory
thereof,
because
it
is
departed
from
6
It
shall
be
also
carried
unto
Assyria
[for]
a
present
to
king
Jareb:
Ephraim
shall
receive
shame,
and
Israel
shall
be
ashamed
of
his
own
counsel.
7
[As
for]
Samaria,
her
king
is
cut
off
as
the
foam
upon
the
water.
8
The
high
places
also
of
Aven,
the
sin
of
Israel,
shall
be
destroyed:
the
thorn
and
the
thistle
shall
come
up
on
their
altars;
and
they
shall
say
to
the
mountains,
Cover
us;
and
to
the
hills,
Fall
on
9
O
Israel,
thou
hast
sinned
from
the
days
of
Gibeah:
there
they
stood:
the
battle
in
Gibeah
against
the
children
of
iniquity
did
not
overtake
them.
10
[It
is]
in
my
desire
that
I
should
chastise
them;
and
the
people
shall
be
gathered
against
them,
when
they
shall
bind
themselves
in
their
two
furrows.
11
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.
12
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.
13
Ye
have
plowed
wickedness,
ye
have
reaped
iniquity;
ye
have
eaten
the
fruit
of
lies:
because
thou
didst
trust
in
thy
way,
in
the
multitude
of
thy
mighty
men.
14
Therefore
shall
a
tumult
arise
among
thy
people,
and
all
thy
fortresses
shall
be
spoiled,
as
Shalman
spoiled
Betharbel
in
the
day
of
battle:
the
mother
was
dashed
in
pieces
upon
[her]
children.
15
So
shall
Bethel
do
unto
you
because
of
your
great
wickedness:
in
a
morning
shall
the
king
of
Israel
utterly
be
cut
off.
