Hosea 10:1-3
American Standard Version
10 Israel is a luxuriant vine, that putteth forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the [a]goodness of their land they have made goodly [b]pillars. 2 [c]Their heart is [d]divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will smite their altars, he will destroy their [e]pillars. 3 Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?

Hosea 10:1-3
New International Version
10 Israel was a spreading vine;(A)
he brought forth fruit for himself.
As his fruit increased,
he built more altars;(B)
as his land prospered,(C)
he adorned his sacred stones.(D)
2 Their heart is deceitful,(E)
and now they must bear their guilt.(F)
The Lord will demolish their altars(G)
and destroy their sacred stones.(H)
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?”
