Hosea 10:2-4

Tree of Life Version

² Their heart became smooth^[a].
Now they will bear their guilt.
He will break down their altars.
He will destroy their sacred pillars.
³ Surely now they will say: “We have no king,
    for we have not feared Adonai.
The king—what can he do for us?”
⁴ They spoke words—
empty oaths to make a covenant.
But judgment springs up as hemlock
    in the furrows of the field.
