Hosea 10

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 10 of 14

1 Israel is a luxuriant vine; he bears fruit for himself. According to the plenty of his fruit he has increased the altars; as the goodness of the land they have made goodly pillars.

2 Their heart is divided. Now they shall be guilty. He will break down their altars; He will devastate their pillars.

3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we did not fear Jehovah. What then should a king do for us?
