The King James Version Bible

Hosea 10:1-4

  1. Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.

  2. Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

  3. For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

  4. They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
