Hosea 10:3 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

3Then they will say, “We have no king

because we did not revere the Lord.

But even if we had a king,

what could he do for us?”

3¶Certainly now they will say, “We have no king,

For we do not revere the Lord.

As for the king, what can he do for us?”

3Surely now they will say, “We have no king,

For we do not revere the Lord.

As for the king, what can he do for us?”

3¶Surely now they will say [in despair], “We have no [true] king,

For we do not revere the Lord;

And as for the king, what can he do for us [to rescue us]?”

3Surely now they will say,

“We have no king,

for we do not revere the Lord.

What can a king do for us?”

3Then they’ll say, “We don’t have a king.

That’s because we didn’t have

any respect for the Lord.

But suppose we did have a king.

What could he do for us?”
