Hosea 10:12-13
12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you. 13 You have plowed wickedness; you have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, because you trusted in your own way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

All we like sheep have wandered from God and live in sin without Christ. Truly there is nobody who is righteous by His standards of perfection. We sow our own strength and lies of self reliance intermingled with wicked thoughts and deeds that echo them. Ah, but God desires mercy and brokenness intermingled in righteousness; but this is only possible in the righteous perfection of Jesus Christ as our Savior, Intercessor, and Lord. He has come in the flesh to rain His righteousness on us.
