Hosea 10:13

Verse 13 of 15. The 10th of 14 chapters in Hosea, in The Minor Prophets.

9O 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.

10It 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.

15So shall Beth–el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
