1. Israel is a luxuriant vinewhose fruit matches its growth.The more abundant his fruit,the more altars he built;The more productive his land,the more sacred pillars he set up.
2. Their heart is false!Now they will pay for their guilt:God will break down their altarsand destroy their sacred pillars.
3. For now they will say,“We have no king!Since we do not fear the Lord,the king—what could he do for us?”
