Hosea 3:4

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

shall abide
<03427> (8799)

many
<07227>

days
<03117>

without a king
<04428>_,

and without a prince
<08269>_,

and without a sacrifice
<02077>_,

and without an image
<04676>_,

and without an ephod
<0646>_,

and [without] teraphim
<08655>_:

{image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar}

Hosea 7:7

They are all hot
<02552> (8735)

as an oven
<08574>_,

and have devoured
<0398> (8804)

their judges
<08199> (8802)_;

all their kings
<04428>

are fallen
<05307> (8804)_:

[there is] none among them that calleth
<07121> (8802)

unto me.

For they have sown
<02232> (8799)

the wind
<07307>_,

and they shall reap
<07114> (8799)

the whirlwind
<05492>_:

it hath no stalk
<07054>_:

the bud
<06780>

shall yield
<06213> (8799)

no meal
<07058>_:

if
<0194>

so be it yield
<06213> (8799)_,

the strangers
<02114> (8801)

shall swallow it up
<01104> (8799)_.

{stalk: or, standing corn}

For now they shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

We have no king
<04428>_,

because we feared
<03372> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_;

what then should a king
<04428>

do
<06213> (8799)

to us?
