Hosea 1:7
1:7 But I will have pity on the nation
of Judah.
I will deliver them by the
Lord their God; I will not deliver them by the warrior’s bow, by sword, by military victory,
by chariot horses, or by chariots.”
Hosea 10:9
Failure to Learn from the Sin and Judgment of Gibeah
10:9 O Israel, you have sinned since the time of Gibeah,
and there you have remained.
Did not war overtake the evildoers in Gibeah?
Hosea 10:14
Bethel Will Be Destroyed Like Beth Arbel
10:14 The roar of battle will rise against your people;
all your fortresses will be devastated,
just as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.
