Hosea 10:11

And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, trained for some particular work, and loveth to tread out the corn, which was a pleasant task because the animals were permitted to eat as much as they liked during the process, Deuteronomy 25:4; but I passed over upon her fair neck, coming down upon it with the object of making a decided change. I will make Ephraim to ride, placing the yoke for drawing heavy loads upon her neck; Judah shall plow, being likewise guilty of transgressing the Lord's will, and Jacob, here standing for the northern tribes, shall break his clods, by laboriously drawing the harrow over the plowed surface.
