Hosea 10:1-2
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Vine and the Calf
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.

International Standard Version
The Coming Destruction
10 “Israel, the overgrown[a] vine, bears fruit like itself;
the more fruitful they become,
the more altars they build.
The better the land,
the more ornate the stone idols.[b]
2 Their hearts are divided;
from now on they are to be found guilty.
God[c] will tear down their altars,
he will destroy their stone idols.[d]
