Hosea: Israel's Treachery and God's Grace

The LORD brought Israel out of Egypt to be His own people, but they have sinned in worshipping other gods and transgressing His law. So the LORD says He will no longer be their God, will no longer show them mercy, and says they will return to Egypt. He will tear them like a lion tears its prey. And yet, the number of Israel will be more in number than the sand on the sea. He will raise them from the dead on the third day.
