So let's dig in and turn the bible to Hosea 12

Who, What, When, Where, and How tool

Ephraim, which is a tribe in Israel, chases the wind with increasing lies and violence.

Jacob to  be punished according to his deceptive deeds. Here God is representing the choices and the repercussions of Jacob to the children of Israel. Jacob's struggle from the womb, to the contention he had with his brother Esau and also with the Lord God Almighty.

Israel is admonished to return to God, maintain love and justice within its borders and wait for God always.

Israel uses dishonesty and defrauding ways to gain wealth and even boast of  these acts. Saying their ill gotten wealth is their  protection.

God reiterates that He is their God since Israel came out of Egypt and He will humble them again to living in tents again.

Gilead has become worthless through their idol worship. The place where they worship these idols will become a pile of stones.

Israel is reminded of her history; Jacob ran away from his actions and tended sheep to get a wife. And also of Moses, the prophet God used to lead Israel out of Egypt.

Ephraim will be repaid the guilt of bloodshed
