So, Hosea 7. Here's the deal: Israel has been acting like a bunch of naughty children and God is really not happy. He's like, "They do not acknowledge me! They keep on sinning! I'm so mad, I'm gonna have to punish them". So that's the deal. God's mad and the people are paying the price. And you know what? They don't even care. They can't even be bothered to turn to God and ask for help. All they do is lie and cheat and pretend like nothing's wrong. Yeah, real nice.
