Hosea 10:3-4
Lexham English Bible
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.

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)
