10 Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit.

    According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars.
    As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
Their heart is divided.
    Now they will be found guilty.
    He will demolish their altars.
    He will destroy their sacred stones.

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]

    from now on they are to be found guilty.

    he will destroy their stone idols.[d]
