Hosea 10:12

English Standard Version

12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. (Isa 45:8; Jer 4:3; Ho 8:7; Ga 6:8) 

New International Version

12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unploughed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. 

New International Reader’s Version

12 Your hearts are as hard as a field that has not been ploughed. If you change your ways, you will produce good crops. So plant the seeds of doing what is right. Then you will harvest the fruit of your faithful love. It is time to seek the LORD. When you do, he will come and shower his blessings on you. 

King James Version

12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
