Hosea 10:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

10 The people of Israel are like vines that used to produce fruit.
The more fruit they produced,
the more altars they built.
The more their land produced,
the more stone markers they set up ⌞to honor other gods⌟.
² They are hypocrites. Now they must take their punishment.
God will tear down their altars and destroy their stone markers.
³ So they’ll say,
“We have no king because we didn’t fear the Lord.
Even if we had a king, he couldn’t do anything for us.”
