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.

Retribution for Israel’s Sin

10 Israel is a luxuriant (A)vine;
He produces fruit for himself.
The more his fruit,
The more altars he (B)made;
The [a]richer his land,
The better [b]he made the (C)memorial stones.
Their heart is [c](D)deceitful;
Now they must suffer for their (E)guilt.
[d]The Lord will (F)break down their altars
And destroy their memorial stones.
