Hosea 10:1-2

1 ^aIsrael is a luxuriant vine
that yields its fruit.
The more his fruit increased,
^bthe more altars he built;
as his country improved,
he improved his pillars.
2 Their heart is false;
now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord ^{▼▼Hebrew He} will break down their altars
and destroy their pillars.
