Hosea
Chapter
Hosea is the first book of the twelve minor prophets. Because the times are outwardly prosperous, idolatry prevails and immorality is rampant. Hosea urges a return to God in order that He may show mercy and forgiveness.
Hosea 5
5:12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
