We read Hosea 10–14 and trace the arc from idolatry and injustice to a fierce, fatherly mercy that refuses to abandon a wayward people. We wrestle with judgment, exile, and a God who says, I am God and not man, and calls us to return and be healed.
• idols, injustice, and the collapse of false security
• God’s father-heart withholding wrath and summoning return
• covenant lawsuit against deceit and hollow wealth
• repentance defined as love, justice, and waiting on God
• death taunted, mercy promised, restoration pictured as dew and roots
• wisdom call: the ways of the Lord are right
• takeaway: rules without relationship results in rebellion
