Hosea 10:3

---

← Hosea 10:2	Hosea 10:3 (KJV)	Hosea 10:4 →
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.	For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?	They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
