Hosea is speaking about Israel.
Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit
Israel is compared to a vine that is very fruitful. (See how you translated this in Hosea 9:13.). (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
a luxuriant vine
This vine is producing more fruit than normal.
As his land produced more, he improved his sacred pillars
AT: "With that money they made more stone columns in honor of their idols" (UDB)
Their heart is deceitful
This means that Israel is being dishonest toward Yahweh by their worship of idols. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
now they must bear their guilt
AT: "but the time has come that they must pay for their sins." (UDB)
