Hosea 1-6, 14

In chapter one the lord spoke to Hosea and told him to go marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her. God did this because he knew the woman would cheat on Hosea and he wanted to illustrate how the Israelites disobeyed God. So Hosea married Gomer and they had a son named Jezreeel. He was named this because God would destroy the Israelites in the Valley of Jezreel. Jezreel had another baby named Lo-Ruhamah (which means "not loved".) She is named this because Israel will no longer be loved or forgiven. Then she had one last son named Lo-Ammi ("which means "not my people")
In chapter two Israel is punished and restored
In chapter three the lord told Hosea to go to his wife and show her she is loved even though she was cheating on him with another man/men. So Hosea bought her and told her that she will live with him for the rest of their days.
In chapter four God tells all the Israelites of their wrongdoings and rejects them.
In chapter five God judges all the Israelites.
In chapter six the Israelites repent.
In chapter fourteen I think Hosea is telling the Israelites to return to God and ask for forgiveness. He also says Assyria cannot save us, but the ways of the lord are right.
My verse is "The ways of the Lord are right the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
This verse means to me that if we try to run from Gods word it will come back and stop us. An example is if I am not sure if God really exists and I just tiptoe around that question, Gods word will trip me and make me think deeper about it./
