Hosea 13:9-16
You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away.
I will ransom them from the power of the grave, I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction?
I will have no compassion.
God's power to carry out all that he has warned of.
The scorching wind from the desert which dries and shrivels everything in its path.
Ephraim suffers the pain of childbirth but when the time arrives, he does not come to the opening of the womb. He is a child without wisdom.
Why?
When against the God, there will be pain and does not have the achievement. Everything is gone without blessing and protection. Ephraim wanted to get blessing and goodness from Baal and their own, but they loss more.
Ephraim chose the rule of the world and they did not accept the warning from the Lord, despise the grace of God. So they suffer the destruction and pain from the Lord.
When people pursue the prosper of the world will fail, but the prosper of the spiritual will be real blessing.
God's discipline and ransom comes to us depends on what we did. And God's love always is there.
How?
Learn the real wisdom, which is follow the way of God's word and obey his commandment.
