An Invasion From The North

²⁹ ‘Shall I not punish these people?’ declares the Lord,
‘On a nation such as this
Shall I not avenge Myself?’
³⁰ “An appalling and horrible thing
Has happened in the land:
³¹ The prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule on their own authority;
And My people love it so!
But what will you do at the end of it?

Judah

“Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing:
The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood;

So that no one has turned back from his wickedness.
All of them have become to Me like Sodom,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

Hosea 6:10

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing;
Ephraim’s harlotry is there, Israel has defiled itself.

But they have revolted against Me.

And shudder, be very desolate,” declares the Lord.
