“The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah ...” (2). Through Hosea, God reminded the people of Judah that their troubled ancestor Jacob wrestled with the angel of God. After years of dishonesty, he “wept and begged for his favor” (3-4), and he encountered God at Bethel. But now, instead of seeking God, Jacob’s descendants were enamored with “lies and violence” and prideful about their wealth (1,8). Hosea urged them to repent and seek God, like Jacob did, and to “maintain love and justice” (6).

“The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt ...” (13). God uses prophets (like Moses and Hosea) to call people out of bondage and back to Himself. He calls us to listen and find freedom.
