Hosea 10:1-8

1IsraelH3478 is a 1luxuriantH1238 2vineH1612; He producesH7737 fruitH6529 for himself. The moreH7230 his fruitH6529, The moreH7235 altarsH4196 he 3madeH7235; The 4richerH2896 his landH776, The betterH3190 5he madeH3190 the sacred 6pillarsH4676.2Their heartH3820 is 78faithlessH2505; NowH6258 they must bearH816 their 9guiltH816. 10The Lord will 11breakH6202 downH6202 their altarsH4196 And destroyH7703 their sacred pillarsH4676.

3SurelyH3588 nowH6258 they will sayH559, “We haveH369 12noH369 kingH4428, For we do not revereH3372 the LordH3068. As for the kingH4428, whatH4100 can he doH6213 for us?”4They speakH1696 mere wordsH1697, 13With 14worthlessH7723 oathsH422 they makeH3772 covenantsH1285; And 15judgmentH4941 sproutsH6524 like poisonousH7219 weedsH7219 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7706.5The inhabitantsH7934 of SamariaH8111 will fearH1481 For the 1617calfH5697 of 18Beth-avenH1007. IndeedH3588, its peopleH5971 will mournH56 for it, And its 19idolatrousH3649 priestsH3649 20will cryH1523 outH1523 overH5921 it, OverH5921 its 21gloryH3519, sinceH3588 it has departedH1540 from it.6The thing itselfH1571 will be carriedH2986 to 22AssyriaH804 As tributeH4503 to 2324KingH4428 JarebH3377; EphraimH669 will 25be 26seizedH3947 with shameH1317 And IsraelH3478 will be ashamedH954 of its 27own counselH6098.7SamariaH8111 will be 28cutH1820 offH1820 with her kingH4428 Like a stickH7110 on the surfaceH6440 of the waterH4325.8Also the 29highH1116 placesH1116 of AvenH206, the 30sinH2398 of IsraelH3478, will be destroyedH8045; 31ThornH6975 and thistleH1863 will growH5927 on their altarsH4196; Then they will 32sayH559 to the mountainsH2022, “CoverH3680 us!” And to the hillsH1389, “FallH5307 on us!”
