Hosea 10:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Israel’s Sin and Captivity

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

³For now they will say:
‘We have no king,
for we do not fear the Lord,
and a king—what could he do for us?’
