Hosea 10:1-2
New American Standard Bible 1995
Retribution for Israel’s Sin
10 Israel is a [a]luxuriant (A)vine;
He produces fruit for himself.
The more his fruit,
The more altars he (B)made;
The [b]richer his land,
The better [c]he made the sacred (C)pillars.
2 Their heart is [d](D)faithless;
Now they must bear their (E)guilt.
[e]The Lord will (F)break down their altars
And destroy their sacred pillars.
