, For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad.
About this person
Hosea, son of Beeri, prophesied in Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II, a ministry that stretched across sixty years. He was the only prophet of his generation in Israel to leave written prophecy, and the Talmud would later call him the greatest of his time. His writings open the collection known as the Twelve Minor Prophets, a set of books grouped together in the Jewish Tanakh but separated in Christian Bibles. Scholars since the nineteenth century have largely agreed he lived and wrote in the eighth century BC, though debate persists over how much later editors shaped the text. Beneath his warnings of destruction ran a promise: restoration was still possible.
