The nation of Israel was addressed for their idolatry by Hosea, but it is somthing that has been part of their lives throughout their journeying. Rachel stole Laban's household gods, Joshua told them to get rid of the gods among them and choose the God they were going to serve. Aaron was easily persuaded to make tangile images they could use to facilitate their worship. We are no different today worshipping images and idols that bring us into bondage.
