Hosea 10:4

They utter mere words ; with empty oaths they make covenants ; so judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field .

They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.

They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant : thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
