Yashar'el is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not Yahuah; what then should a king do to us?
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in cutting a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
The inhabitants of Shomeron shall fear because of the calves of Beyt Aven: 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 it.
It shall be also carried unto Ashshur for a present to King Yarev: Ephrayim shall receive shame, and Yashar'el shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
As for Shomeron, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Yashar'el, 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 us.
O Yashar'el, you have sinned from the days of Giv'ah: there they stood: the battle in Giv'ah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
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.
And Ephrayim is as a heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the grain; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephrayim to ride; Yahudah shall plow, and Ya`aqov shall break his clods.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Yahuah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beyt Arb'el in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
So shall Beyt-El do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Yashar'el utterly be cut off.
