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](../09/13.md).). (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 ##
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 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)
