Batman: Robin, it's time to review Hosea 5!

Robin: What does this chapter say about the people of Israel, Batman?

Batman: Well, Robin, the people of Israel are in deep trouble because of their rebelliousness and idolatry. The Lord is going to punish them for their sins, and He will punish their rulers and priests as well.

Catwoman: Sounds like a purrrrrfect plan!

Batman: Not so fast, Catwoman! The Lord is also going to punish the false prophets who have been misleading the people with false promises.

Robin: That's not very nice!

Batman: No, it's not, Robin. But it's necessary to bring the people back to the Lord.

Joker: But what if they don't want to come back?

Batman: Then they will suffer even more! The Lord will cause them to be scattered and exiled, and they will be helpless against their enemies.

Riddler: Riddle me this, Batman: what will happen if they repent?

Batman: If they repent, then the Lord will have mercy on them and restore them. He will heal them and bring them back to Himself.

Robin: That sounds like a happy ending!

Batman: Indeed it does, Robin. Let us hope that the people of Israel take heed of this warning and repent before it's too late!
