Hosea 4:1-5:7: Oracles of Doom

About This Episode

Most of Hosea's book are pronouncements of judgement against Israel for breaking her covenant with God. In a lot of ways, Hosea reads like a legal document citing offences and doling out punishments. Seth and David reflect on both God's justice towards Israel, but also the surprising fact that while God's judgment needs a reason, his love does not.
