10 Israel is an empty vine,
he bringeth forth fruit unto himself:
according to the multitude of his fruit
he hath increased the altars;
according to the goodness of his land
they have made goodly images.
Their heart is divided;
now shall they be found faulty:
he shall break down their altars,
he shall spoil their images.
