Well, folks, in the book of Hosea, Chapter 13, God's really had enough of the Israelites. He says they've turned their backs on him and are worshiping idols instead. He says their sin has made them like a wild donkey, and he's going to punish them for it. He says they'll suffer, and their land will be laid waste. But he also offers them hope, saying that if they repent, he'll forgive them and restore them. So, basically, God's like, if you don't worship me, you're gonna pay. Sorry, not sorry.
