Hosea 10: Israel the Vine and the Coming Ruin

Hosea pictures Israel as a thriving vine that used its prosperity to build more altars, so God will tear them down and send the calf idol of Beth-aven to Assyria. Terrified people will beg the hills to hide them, and God urges them to sow righteousness and seek Him, since trust in their own strength will end in war.
