Hosea 10:1-3

Living Bible

10 “How prosperous Israel is—a luxuriant vine all filled with fruit! But the more wealth I give her, the more she pours it on the altars of her heathen gods; the richer the harvests I give her, the more beautiful the statues and idols she erects. ² The hearts of her people are false toward God. They are guilty and must be punished. God will break down their heathen altars and smash their idols.”

³ Then they will say, “We deserted the Lord and he took away our king. But what’s the difference? We don’t need one anyway!”
