Hosea 10:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²Their heart is false;
now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord^[a] will break down their altars,
and destroy their pillars.

³For now they will say:
    “We have no king,
for we do not fear the Lord,
    and a king—what could he do for us?”
⁴They utter mere words;
    with empty oaths they make covenants;
so litigation springs up like poisonous weeds
    in the furrows of the field.
