Hosea 10:3-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Surely now they will say, “We have ^(A)no king,
For we do not revere the Lord.
As for the king, what can he do for us?”
⁴ They speak mere words,
^[a]With ^(B)worthless oaths they make covenants;
And ^(C)judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
