The word of Yahweh that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
    In about 760 BC God sent His word by Hosea. Very vividly the prophet describes God’s people. The picture is not beautiful; it looks too much like the church today for us to find enjoyment in looking at it!
