11. Israel is like a well-trained young cowthat likes to thresh grain.I will put a yoke on her neckand make her work hard in the field.Israel will plow,and Judah will break up the ground.
12. I said, ‘Plant goodness,harvest the fruit of loyalty,plow the new ground of knowledge.Look for the Lord until he comesand pours goodness on you like water.’
13. But you have plowed eviland harvested trouble;you have eaten the fruit of your lies.Because you have trusted in your own powerand your many soldiers,
