12 Plough your fields,scatter seeds of justice,and harvest faithfulness.Worship me, the Lord,and I will send my saving powerdown like rain.
13 You have planted evil,harvested injustice, and eatenthe fruit of your lies.You trusted your own strengthand your powerful forces.
14 So war will break out,and your fortresseswill be destroyed.Your enemies will do to youwhat Shalman did to the peopleof Beth-Arbel—mothers and their childrenwill be beaten to deathagainst rocks.
15 Bethel, this will be your fatebecause of your evil.Israel, at dawn your kingwill be killed.
