Hosea 10:11

But, Ephraim, shall be a heifer broken in, loving to tread out corn, when, I, have passed over upon her fair neck,—I will drive Ephraim, Judah, shall plow, Jacob, shall harrow to him.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

In Context

12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap ye at the bidding of lovingkindness, furrow to yourselves the newly-ploughed soil,—then will be the time to seek Yahweh, until he come, that he may rain down righteousness for you.
