Hos 4:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : God warns, “You shall fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with you in the night, and I will destroy your mother” . Both the people and their false prophets will fall into trouble, day and night. The mother here means Samaria, the capital city, or the whole kingdom. All will be punished together, because all are guilty. The people cannot expect their leaders or nation to save them when God’s judgment comes (Matthew 23:35 ).
