Hosea 10:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
10 1 Against Israel and his idols. 14 His destruction for the same.
1 Israel is a [a]empty vine, yet hath it brought forth fruit unto itself, and according to the multitude of the fruit thereof he hath increased the altars: according to the [b]goodness of their land they have made fair images.
2 Their heart is [c]divided: now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars; he shall destroy their images.
3 For now they shall say, We have no [d]King because we feared not the Lord: and what should a King do to us?
