Hosea 10:2-4
Christian Standard Bible
2 Their hearts are devious;[a](A)
now they must bear their guilt.(B)
The Lord will break down their altars(C)
and demolish their sacred pillars.
3 In fact, they are now saying,
“We have no king!
For we do not fear the Lord.(D)
What can a king do for us?”
4 They speak mere words,
taking false oaths while making covenants.(E)
So lawsuits break out
like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.(F)

Hosea 10:2-4
New King James Version
2 Their heart is (A)divided;[a]
Now they are held guilty.
He will break down their altars;
He will ruin their sacred pillars.
3 For now they say,
“We have no king,
Because we did not fear the Lord.
And as for a king, what would he do for us?”
4 They have spoken words,
Swearing falsely in making a covenant.
Thus judgment springs up (B)like hemlock in the furrows of the field.
