Hos 14:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : The book ends with a call to wisdom: “Who is wise? Let him understand these things; who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them, but the transgressors shall fall in them” (Hosea 14:9 ). True wisdom means understanding and following God’s ways. God’s commands and actions are always right, even if we do not always understand them. Good people will follow God’s path and be blessed. But those who rebel and ignore God will stumble and fall, even over the good things God has done. The same truth that saves some will be a warning and a stumbling block to others (Romans 9:33 ).

‏ Hosea 14:9

v. 9: The book ends with a call to wisdom: “Who is wise? Let him understand these things; who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them, but the transgressors shall fall in them” (Hosea 14:9 ^a). True wisdom means understanding and following God’s ways. God’s commands and actions are always right, even if we do not always understand them. Good people will follow God’s path and be blessed. But those who rebel and ignore God will stumble and fall, even over the good things God has done. The same truth that saves some will be a warning and a stumbling block to others (Romans 9:33 ^b).
