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.

Hosea 10:3-4
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.
