Hosea 4:2-3
4:2 a The prophet also charged the Israelites for their sins of commission. The crimes listed here are all prohibited in the Ten Commandments (Exod 20:3-17 b; Deut 5:7-21 c), the fundamental list of covenant responsibilities. Because the Israelites did not know the Lord, they did not practice even the most basic standards of covenant life.4:3 d God’s judgment inevitably falls upon sinful people. Because of the Israelites’ sin, their land and all of nature would suffer.
