Hosea 10:3-4
Christian Standard Bible
3 In fact, they are now saying,
“We have no king!
For we do not fear the Lord.(A)
What can a king do for us?”
4 They speak mere words,
taking false oaths while making covenants.(B)
So lawsuits break out
like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.(C)
Hosea 10:3-4
International Standard Version
3 From now on they will say,
‘We have no king,
because we did not fear the Lord—
and what would a king do for us?’
4 Their word is falsely given
as they make their agreements;[a]
so judgment springs up
like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.[b]
