Hosea 10:3-4
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Surely now they will say, “We have (A)no king,
For we do not fear Yahweh.
As for the king, what can he do for us?”
4 They speak mere words;
[a]With (B)worthless oaths they cut covenants;
And (C)judgment flourishes like gall in the furrows of the field.

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)
