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)
Hosea 10:3-4
New Living Translation
3 Then they will say, “We have no king
because we didn’t fear the Lord.
But even if we had a king,
what could he do for us anyway?”
4 They spout empty words
and make covenants they don’t intend to keep.
So injustice springs up among them
like poisonous weeds in a farmer’s field.
