Israel's Prosperity and Idolatry

Hosea 10:1-8
1
Isra'el was a luxuriant vine, freely putting forth fruit. As his fruit increased, he increased his altars; as his land got better, he improved his standing-stones.
2
Their heart is divided; now they will bear their guilt. He will break down their altars and destroy their standing-stones.
3
For now they will say, "We have no king, because we didn't fear ADONAI - and what could a king do for us, anyway?"
4
They mouth words, swearing falsely, making treaties. Thus judgment spreads like poisonous weeds in the furrows of a field.
5
The inhabitants of Shomron are frightened of the calf-gods of Beit-Aven. Its people mourn over it; its priests tremble over it, over its glory, which has left it.
6
It will be carried to Ashur as a present for a warring king. Efrayim will be put to shame, and Isra'el be ashamed of his own advice.
7
Shomron's king will perish like foam on the surface of the water.
8
Destruction will come to the high places of Aven, that is, to the sin of Isra'el. Thorns and thistles will grow over their altars; and they will say to the mountains, "Cover us!" and to the hills, "Fall on us!"
