Ah, Hosea 12. Ya gotta love it! Ya know, this chapter is all about Ephraim, and how he's running around, doing all kinds of crazy things. He's been making all kinds of trouble for God, and God ain't too happy about it. He's telling Ephraim that he's gonna have to pay for his crimes, and it ain't gonna be pretty. So, you know, beware of Ephraim and his shenanigans! He's gonna get what's coming to him, and it ain't gonna be good.
