12 Sow to yourselves righteousness,reap mercy,break up your fallow ground;for it is time to seek the Lord,until He comesand rains righteousness upon you.
13 You have plowed wickedness.You have reaped iniquity,and you have eaten the fruit of lies.Because you have trusted in your powerand in the numbers of your warriors,
14 therefore a tumult will arise among your people,and all your fortresses will be destroyedas Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle;mothers were dashed to pieces upon their children.
15 So will it be done to you, O Bethel,because of your great wickedness.At dawnthe king of Israel will be utterly cut off.
