God had a case against His people for their lies and adulterous nature. They were bringing violence into His holy nation. Cast judgment upon them to bring them back to His love and justice. It began with Jacob and how he handled his life circumstances. They could have been handled better.
The point is for people to wait on Him with your hope. He is working even when it feels so slow that nothing is changing. His way is honest. It leads to the best choices in life. Self-Centered choices lead to judgment. Just as Jacob fled, so do all people who live in sin. Bitter anger leads to contempt in which we can never recover. It leads directly to eternal death.
Do not put equity into things of this world. They do no last. We have to find repentance in the heart. Self-seeking is enslaving. God told us how to put equity into the eternal through His prophets. He gave them visions and parables to be a connection for the people. Now we have Jesus.
Hosea 12
