Good News Translation

The Lord Pronounces Judgment on Israel

^9 (A)The Lord says, “The people of Israel have not stopped sinning against me since the time of their sin at Gibeah.^[a] So at Gibeah war will catch up with them. ¹⁰ I will attack^[b] this sinful people and punish them. Nations will join together against them, and they will be punished for their many sins.

¹¹ “Israel was once like a well-trained young cow, ready and willing to thresh grain. But I decided to put a yoke^[c] on her beautiful neck and to harness her for harder work. I made Judah pull the plow and Israel pull the harrow.
