Hosea 10:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ For now they shall say, “We have no king because we did not fear the LORD. And what would a king do for us?”

⁴ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant. Thus, judgment grows as wormwood in the furrows of the field.

⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calf of Beth Aven. For its people shall mourn over it, as well as its Chemarims, who cried over it because of its glory and because it has departed.
