Hosea 10:3-4
English Standard Version
3 For now they will say:
(A)“We have no king,
for we do not fear the Lord;
and a king—what could he do for us?”
4 They utter (B)mere words;
with empty[a] oaths they make covenants;
so (C)judgment springs up like poisonous weeds
(D)in the furrows of the field.

Revised Standard Version
3 For now they will say:
“We have no king,
for we fear not the Lord,
and a king, what could he do for us?”
4 They utter mere words;
with empty oaths they make covenants;
so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds
in the furrows of the field.
