Hosea 10:1-2

Retribution for Israel’s Sin

^{Tools

Israel is a ^(a)luxuriant ^(A)vine;
He produces fruit for himself.
The more his fruit,
The more altars he ^(B)made;
The ^(b)richer his land,
The better ^(c)he made the sacred ^(C)pillars.

Their heart is ^(d)^(D)faithless;
Now they must bear their ^(E)guilt.
^(e)The Lord will ^(F)break down their altars
And destroy their sacred pillars.
