Hosea 9

YHWH rebukes Ephraim (Israel) for spiritual harlotry and misplaced joy in prosperity from idolatry, pronouncing judgment of exile from the land, failed harvests, unacceptable worship, and barrenness or death of children as punishment for corruption like the days of Gibeah and Baal Peor.[1][2][3][4]
