[:en]SCRIPTURE: HOSEA 10
“Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you” (Hosea 10:12)
Israel was a spreading vine with abundant fruits and prosperous land. But he served 2 masters by worshiping God and idols. They made false promises and oaths and their hearts were deceitful. They had planted wickedness, so they had to reap evil. They had eaten the fruit of deception and depended upon their our strength. A battle will rise against them and devastate their fortresses. Their mothers and children will be dashed to the ground and the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.[:]
