[:en]SCRIPTURE: HOSEA 12
“But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always” (Hosea 12:6)
ISRAEL’S SIN
The Israelites boosted of their riches They used dishonest scales, lies and violence and deceit to become wealthy. Though they sacrificed bulls in altars, but their boast was just like the wind. The Lord will punish them according to their deeds. The Lord will judge their guilt of bloodshed and repay for their contempt.[:]
