Take with you words and return to the Lord.
I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol...
It was I who knew you...
"Those who offer human sacrifices kiss the calf!" (Hosea 13:2)
So you, by the help of your God, return
A new metaphor in Hosea...
Break up your fallow ground and let God rain righteousness!
This text is going to sting.
How much hope do we have without Jesus?
What mourners' bread will you eat?
To whom are you being gathered?
Who have you made your Sovereign King?
Perversion mixed with sincerity does not equal righteousness.
Have you dealt with the evil inside of you?
What does the judgement bring?
