Hosea 10:1-3

New International Version - UK

10 Israel was a spreading vine;
    he brought forth fruit for himself.
As his fruit increased,
    he built more altars;
as his land prospered,
    he adorned his sacred stones.
² Their heart is deceitful,
    and now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord will demolish their altars
    and destroy their sacred stones.

³ Then they will say, ‘We have no king
    because we did not revere the Lord.
But even if we had a king,
    what could he do for us?’
