Page "Book of Hosea" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
During Hosea's lifetime, the kings of the Northern Kingdom, their aristocratic supporters, and the priests had led the people away from the Law of God, as given in the Pentateuch.
Forsaking the worship of God, they worshiped other gods, especially Baal, the Canaanite fertility god.
Hosea declares that unless they repent of these sins, God will allow their nation to be destroyed, and the people will be taken into captivity by Assyria, the greatest nation of the time.
