Israel Is Like a Rotten Vine

10 The people of Israel are like vines that used to produce fruit.
The more fruit they produced,

the more stone markers they set up ⌞to honor other gods⌟.
They are hypocrites. Now they must take their punishment.
God will tear down their altars and destroy their stone markers.
