Hosea 10:2-4

2Their heart is deceitful, and now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones.

3Then they will say, “We have no king because we did not revere the LORD . But even if we had a king, what could he do for us?”

4They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.
