Hosea 10:12 “so to yourselves in righteousness, reap the fruits of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain salvation upon you”The expression, “break up your fallow ground”, means do not sow your seeds among thorns, i.e. Break off your evil habits, clear your hearts of weeds, in order that they may be prepared for the seed of righteousness.
