Israel Is Punished

10 Israel is a luxuriant vine;[a]
he yields fruit for himself.
The more his fruit increased,
    the more he made numerous altars.
The more his land prospered,
    the more he[b] improved[c] his stone pillars.
Their heart is false;
    now they must bear their guilt.
He himself[d] will break down their altars;
    he will destroy their stone pillars.
