“The more altars Ephraim builds, the more places the people have to sin— altars for sinning and not for sin offerings. Although many times I have written many rules for my people, Ephraim regards them as something strange and foreign. They love to offer sacrifices to me so that they can eat the meat. But I, YAHWEH, take no pleasure in them. I will not forget their guilt, and I will punish them for their sins. They will have to go back to Egypt.

God used Hosea to powerfully communicate His anguish towards the nation of Israel due to their continued idol worship. Hosea’s life and ministry show both the heart-breaking cost of idolatry as well as the lengths to which God will go to redeem His sinful people back to Him. This book reminds us that despite our sinful idolatry, God is always faithful.
