Hosea 10:2

Israel Is Punished

¹ Israel was a fertile vine that yielded fruit. As his fruit multiplied, he multiplied altars to Baal. As his land prospered, they adorned the fertility pillars. ² Their heart is slipping; soon they will be punished for their guilt. The Lord will break their altars; he will completely destroy their fertility pillars. ³ Very soon they will say, "We have no king since we did not fear the Lord. But what can a king do for us anyway?"

Bear Their Guilt

Destroy Their Altars

Lord Shall

Break Down Their Altars

Tear Down Their Altars
