TSK · Hosea 4:9

He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

If the righteous are recompensed on earth, how much more the wicked sinner!

So the LORD cut off Israel’s head and tail, both the shoots and stalk in one day.

The prophets prophesy lies. The priests exercise power by their own authority. And my people love to have it this way. But they will not be able to help you when the time of judgment comes!

Moreover, the LORD says,“Both the prophets and priests are godless. I have even found them doing evil in my temple!

“‘But the Levites who went far from me, straying off from me after their idols when Israel went astray, will be responsible for their sin.

Then the LORD said to Hosea,“Name him‘Jezreel,’ because in a little while I will punish the dynasty of Jehu on account of the bloodshed in the valley of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times They have sunk deep into corruption as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their wrongdoing. He will repay them for their sins.

But have my words and statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, not outlived your fathers? Then they paid attention and confessed,‘The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has indeed done what he said he would do to us, because of our sinful ways.’”
