Hosea 10:2-3

10:2 Their heart is slipping;

soon they will be punished for their guilt.

The Lord ¹  will break their altars;

he will completely destroy their fertility pillars.

The Lord Will Punish Israel by Removing Its Kings

10:3 Very soon they will say, “We have no king

since we did not fear the Lord.

But what can a king do for us anyway?”

[10:2]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
