Hosea 10:1-3

English Standard Version

10 ^(A)Israel is a luxuriant vine
    that yields its fruit.
The more his fruit increased,
    ^(B)the more altars he built;
as his country improved,
    he improved his pillars.
² Their heart is false;
    now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord^[a] will break down their altars
    and destroy their pillars.

³ For now they will say:
    ^(C)“We have no king,
for we do not fear the Lord;
    and a king—what could he do for us?”
