Osee 10:3

3 Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:

Osee 10:3 In-Context

1 Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.

2 They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.

3 Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:

4 and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.

5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.
