Hosea 10:1-3

Christian Standard Bible

10 Israel is a lush^[a] vine;^(A)
it yields fruit for itself.
The more his fruit increased,
the more he increased the altars.^(B)
The better his land produced,
the better they made the sacred pillars.^(C)
2 Their hearts are devious;^[b](D)
now they must bear their guilt.^(E)
The Lord will break down their altars^(F)
and demolish their sacred pillars.
³ In fact, they are now saying,
“We have no king!
For we do not fear the Lord.^(G)
What can a king do for us?”
