他们心怀诡诈,

现在要承担这罪的惩罚。

耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛,

毁坏他们的柱像。

那时他们必说:“我们没有君王,因为我们不敬畏耶和华。

至于君王,他能为我们作甚么呢?”

他们说很多话,

起假誓,又立盟约;

所以审判像毒草一般在田间的犁沟中生长起来。

Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord; what then should a king do to us?

They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

Their heart is (A)divided;[a]
Now they are held guilty.
He will break down their altars;
He will ruin their sacred pillars.

For now they say,
“We have no king,
Because we did not fear the Lord.
And as for a king, what would he do for us?”
They have spoken words,
Swearing falsely in making a covenant.
Thus judgment springs up (B)like hemlock in the furrows of the field.

  1. Hosea 10:2 Divided in loyalty

Their heart is deceitful,(A)
    and now they must bear their guilt.(B)
The Lord will demolish their altars(C)
    and destroy their sacred stones.(D)

Then they will say, “We have no king
    because we did not revere the Lord.
But even if we had a king,
    what could he do for us?”
They make many promises,
    take false oaths(E)
    and make agreements;(F)
therefore lawsuits spring up
    like poisonous weeds(G) in a plowed field.
