Hosea 10:3-4
New American Standard Bible
3 Certainly 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.

3 For now they will say,
“We have no king;
indeed, we did not fear Yahweh,
and what can a king do for us?”
4 They utter words of vain oaths
when making covenants,[a]
and judgment blossoms like a poisonous plant
on the furrows of the field.
