Hosea 10:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ Surely now they will say: “We have no king,
    for we have not feared Adonai.
The king—what can he do for us?”
⁴ They spoke words—
empty oaths to make a covenant.
But judgment springs up as hemlock
    in the furrows of the field.
⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria will quarrel
    over the calves of Beth-aven.
Indeed its people will mourn over it,
    but its priests will tremble over it.
For its glory will surely depart from it.
