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.
Hosea 10:3-4
Living Bible
3 Then they will say, “We deserted the Lord and he took away our king. But what’s the difference? We don’t need one anyway!”
4 They make promises they don’t intend to keep. Therefore punishment will spring up among them like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
