Well, Hosea 4 is a real downer, folks. The Lord is really mad at his people for worshiping false gods. He says that the people's sins have caused the land to mourn and their worship of idols has led to spiritual and physical death. God warns that if the people don't turn back to him, he will punish them for their sins. And then, folks, the Lord actually calls out the priests for not teaching the people the right way, and says that they are responsible for the people's sins. Boy, that's a real bummer.
