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
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]
